ART BUSINESSES
1. Imogen Gallery
240 11th St.
Creative and dynamic pair Roger Hayes
and Sally Lackaff bring their first collabora-
tive exhibition in over a decade to Imogen
Gallery in “Clatsop County Waters,” inspired
by the mighty Columbia River and its estu-
ary. Hayes brings edgy abstract paintings,
exploring the nuance of fluidity and refrac-
tion of water and showing water’s mysteri-
ous side. Lackaff focuses her hand and eye
on the more literal and delicate, portraying
the complex life-giving waterways that
both support a habitat for flora and fauna
and define and shape our landscape.
The Norblad Hotel and Hostel will be tak-
en over by Astoria artists during art walk,
with food served by chef Marco Davis.

2. “Cascadian Slipstream Part 2” at
the Carruthers Building
1198 Commercial St.
Astoria artist Darren Orange continues
an exploration in reflection and abstraction
of the natural environment. “Cascadian Slip-
stream Part 2: Downstream” is a body of oil
paintings created mostly by an intuitive au-
tomaton nature, or a surrealist automatism,
with subtle references of the Columbia River
Gorge and the greater Northwest. The ex-
hibit is an extension of Orange’s most recent
exhibition, “Cascadian Slipstream,” which
was on view at the Lower Columbia College
in Longview, Washington, in November.
