Debra Carnes, an accomplished basket weaver and member of the Tolovana Arts Colony
board, was adamant that the arts colony find a venue for its annual pop-up gallery. She
successfully led an agreement with the Cannon Beach American Legion to host the two-
day Show Nov. 14 and 15.

in February 2014.
‘There are so many people in this town that
make art and don’t have a chance to show
their work. So that was my mission.’
