Columbia Art Gallery, Collector's Preview Party



















You are cordially invited to preview this highly anticipated Plein Air Gallery Show as a Collector's Award Sponsor.

Catered by our Collector Sponsor: Celilo Restaurant and Bar

Ticket price is $30. For writers who participate in the event, the preview party is just an additional $10 beyond your registration fee.
Please reserve by August 19.
Click to reserve your spot:
Collector's Preview Party
or call 541-387-8877.
You can expect an evening of food drinks, and conversation with other supporters, along with meeting and getting to know the participating artists and writers. As an invitee we are asking you to fulfill one very important aspect of the evening: become a Collector's Purchase Award Sponsor. Since the evening's food and drink is donated, 100% of your tax deductible ticket will go toward sustaining your Art Center.

By becoming a Collector's Purchase Award Sponsor, you are committing to purchasing a painting at the party, and helping CCA fulfill our mission to create an arts-rich environment in the Gorge. This preview is an opportunity to see the show prior to the public opening.
The paintings generally range from $150 to $2,800. At the party you will receive a collector's ribbon to attach to your painting of choice.
Our preview event last year generated the sale of over 50 paintings, the Center's largest event of the year! This year, the artwork of 40 exceptional landscape painters will be on display.

A message from Harriet Levi (Portland, OR) about "Her Presence in Colours" Exhibit/Conference

(Click to Enlarge) I want to be sure the PPASP group and other interested parties know about the International Women's Art Exhibition and Conference that the Oregon Women's Caucus for Art is putting on at Portland State the first week in August. All of the events and seminars are free and open to the public. Everyone is invited. It is a great opportunity to interact with artists from all over the world. Thanks, Harriet
