jim_drakeBeginning July 30, more than 40 artists will descend on the region – easels, paint and brushes in hand – searching for the perfect vista from which to capture the awesome beauty of the Columbia River Gorge.
The artists, hailing from the Pacific Northwest and from around the country, will be taking part in the 14th annual Pacific Northwest Plein Air event hosted by Maryhill Museum of Art.
During the four-day plein air paint out (July 30-Aug. 2), artists will select their own vantage points to paint the vast, wild beauty of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area.
Artists will also be invited to paint on Maryhill’s grounds, giving museum visitors a closer look at plein air artists at work.
Event founder and artist Cathleen Rehfeld Meyers, who lives in Hood River, started the Pacific Northwest Plein Air event as a way to bring artists to the Columbia River Gorge.
“It’s an amazingly beautiful place, with an incredibly diverse landscape to paint.”
An opening and artist reception, featuring works created during the paint-out, will take place Saturday, August 4, 2018 from 5 to 7 p.m. at Maryhill Museum of Art. The public is invited to view and purchase “fresh” paintings and meet the artists.
Paintings will remain on view and available for purchase through August 25, in the Event Sales Gallery in the museum’s M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust Education Center. As work is sold and removed, other work created during the paint-out will replace it. Proceeds support Maryhill Museum of Art.
