Forest Grove’s “grab, pay and go” art show is popping up for another weekend of original artwork and local creativity. Now in its ninth year, the 97116 Art Show will take over Pacific University’s Kathrin Cawein Gallery, kicking off with an opening reception from 6-10 p.m. Friday, Nov. 20, at Les AuCoin Hall, 2043 College Way. The annual exhibition showcases hundreds of original creations from artists of all ages and experience levels across Washington County and surrounding areas, with everything priced at $150 or less. Unlike traditional art shows, where purchased pieces often remain on display until the exhibition closes, 97116 lets visitors pluck their favorite creations right off the walls and take them home the same day. Organizers encourage visitors to arrive early for the best selection, with the show continuing from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 21, and Sunday, Nov. 22. Admission is free.

The stadium can ban violent fans by scanning every face at the gate. Would you walk in?

A stadium can use facial recognition to identify people banned for violence and shorten security lines. Every visitor would be scanned, error rates are not zero, and the resulting biometric data could become useful to police or advertisers.
