Gorge Owned announces a request for proposals for the 2016-17 Sense of Place Lecture Series. Sense of Place is an annual lecture series that seeks to foster a deeper understanding of and connection to the landscape and each other.

The series began as a small gathering in 2010 and has since grown, attracting nearly 1,000 people each year. Lectures occur once a month between October and March and take place at Columbia Center for the Arts in Hood River.
