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.

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

A message from Scott Gellatly (Portland, OR)

It is a great pleasure to let you know of an upcoming group show I will be participating in along with two terrific landscape painters, Michael Victor Jackson and Mitch Albala. I’ve known Mitch since my days in Seattle and have continued to stay in touch with him through my work with Gamblin Artists Colors. Besides being a painter, Mitch is a sought-after instructor and author of the recently published book, Landscape Painting: Essential Concepts and Techniques for Plein Air and Studio Practice. I hope you can make it by Brian Marki for the reception on Friday, July 2 (5-8pm) to see the work and meet Mitch. The exhibition runs until August 15

(from an email from Utrecht) Plein Air in the Park will take place on Saturday, July 10th from 12pm to 4pm to correspond with the Pearl District's Bastille Day celebrations in Jamison Park. Our event will be located in the NW Park blocks between Davis and Everett. Everyone is invited to bring easels and painting supplies. As in years past, Utrecht Art Supplies will provide some materials for passers-by who would like to try their hand at painting en plein air, and will provide water, snacks and free gifts for the “featured artists” as a thank-you for your participation. Come enjoy the summer with Utrecht ...ALL LEVELS encouraged to participate...the more the merrier! -------------------- Google Map There is a smart park garage just off the broadway bridge, about 7 blocks from the north end of the park if you get frustrated trying to find a space on the street.
