Plagans also highlighted 12128, a decommissioned crabbing boat that boasts a 30-square-foot on-deck exhibition space. The unusual gallery space, which Willamette Week called a “creative incubator,” is owned by Zoë Clark, Lewis Feuer, Kyle Thompson, and Caitlin Ducey—all members of the Class of 2009. Thompson is also an adjunct member of the Lewis & Clark chemistry faculty.
