Something new will be the month long exhibition at each art gallery devoted to Plein-Air artists. Those hearty souls that tromp around in the fresh (and sometimes cold) air painting a spectacular piece on location. A highlight to the exhibit will be the “Plein-Air and More” event, Saturday June 27. Look over the shoulders of fifteen talented painters, sculptors and photographers on Saturday from 11-4pm as they create an image of the Cannon Beach area as they see us. The artists then go back to their respective galleries and the piece they had been working on will be for sale.

“Sculpture” Exhibitions

The focus of the Art Galleries during September will be 3 dimensional pieces of art work, including jewelry. Check out the range of this medium from egg carton art to life sized bronzes, stone and metal work.
