“The Pacific Northwest is known for its amazing rivers — many of which pour into the Columbia,” said a CCA press release. “The Columbia is a source of livelihood, commerce, recreation, transportation, food, and irrigation. We all love our rivers and want to see them preserved and respected. This show is an effort to raise awareness about our rivers. It is also an opportunity to exhibit the work of the many talented landscape artists in the region.”
