A beacon for canoes, sail- ors and visitors from all over, Neahkahnie Mountain in Oswald West State Park has inspired local tribes, treasure hunters, mystics and explor- ers for many centuries. Neahkahnie Mountain is a sacred place to the Clat- sop-Nehalem people. It has sustained the Native Amer- ican tribe: The mountain’s summit served as a beacon to canoe travelers, while the elk and plants of its lower slopes had a long and enduring rela- tionship with Nehalem villag- ers. This mountain is still hugely important to the Clat- sop-Nehalem Confederated Tribes today and is one of the few places where tribal mem- bers can still see the land as Beach Books 616 Broadway Beach Books features work from the Green Cab Artist Collective, a working artist group located in the Portland area created with the goal of encouraging and inspiring one another, sharing techniques and info about the business side of art, and shar- ing work with the public. The Cabbies are a synergistic alliance of artists, working in diverse mediums. Helvi Smith, founder of the Cabbies, paints every day. Color never scares her. She is a fearless, self-taught painter. Bruce Ulrich believes that all art is an abstrac- tion, and painting is, at its core, colored marks on a lat surface; painting is a way of investigating different styles and uses of abstraction to explore landscapes, objects, colors and textures. Penny Forrest uses art as an invitation to slow down, look around, and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us daily. Jim Zaleski combines the tradi- tional art forms of painting and drawing with the high tech computer world to produce colorful art that is loaded with whimsy. Jeff Hall enjoys using repurposed ma- terials; his surface building explores real and imagined space, while leaving room for the viewer’s own interpretation and experience. Barbara Martin comes from a line of storytellers and herbalists and the product of an internationally nomadic life. Anne E. Brown paints on wooden panels, loving the way the brush and the paint feels when they touch the surface of the Submitted photo The NCRD will hold a reception for the art show “Sacred Mountain: The Spirit of Neahkahnie” March 5. their ancestors saw it. “First and foremost, it is a mountain that deserves our ongoing re- spect, protection, and delicate care,” said the tribe. A portion of the proceeds from sales during this art show will be donated to the Clatsop-Nehalem tribe to support its ongoing efforts to regain federal tribal recogni- tion. Federal recognition of the Clatsop-Nehalem Tribes of Oregon was terminated in 1954 when Congress passed the Western Oregon Indian Termination Act. More than 100 tribes throughout the U.S. lost federal recognition at the time. A resolution to restore fed- eral recognition of the tribe was introduced to the U.S. Congress for the second time in October 2015 by U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, D-Ore. At the reception, meet trib- al representatives and learn about their efforts to regain federally recognized status. The art will be for sale through the month in the 1&5'RI¿FH For more information, contact Glenna Gray at glen- na@nehalemtel.net 10 | March 3, 2016 | coastweekend.com Submitted photo The Wildlife Center of the North Coast will bring a live American kestrel to Fairweath- er House and Gallery during art walk, and Executive Director Josh Saranpaa will speak.

Elina Zebergs’ art is as varied as her interests; she works in a variety of medi- ums, including acrylics and encaustic. Fairweather House and Gallery 612 Broadway Fairweather celebrates its 10th an- niversary with an opening reception for the exhibition “Above and Beyond,” which offers timely and relevant works of art about the spring season. Regional artists in the show were selected to acknowledge the coastal lyway habitats and to awaken visitors’ senses to nature from the ground up. Light refreshments, wine tasting and live music by Shirley 88 will be offered. Cannon Beach resident Britney Drum- heller offers art that relates to the value people attach to the coastal tidelands and marine life. Art by Kathryn Delaney includes many diverse aspects of life, chal- lenging a viewer’s horizons and viewpoint of the world. Delaney explores the art of birds and mixed-media inspired by the passing of the winter solstice. Rosemary Klein works in the realm of visionary truths. As a former journalist and reference librar- ian, it’s sometimes hard for Klein to let go to the literal and venture into the more in- tuitive dimension of “what if?” Klein’s art is found in the beyond if one could see below the sea. Seaside/ Gearhart naturalist Neal Maine will reveal his latest natural history photo journal, as well as provide a lecture at 6 p.m. about what is above and beyond the coastal edge. Special guest Josh Saranpaa, the exec- utive director of the Wildlife Center of the North Coast, will speak about promoting compassion, empathy and respect for all life. The ever dashing and handsome Fly- nn, a kestrel, will be present. More original art Original art is will also be featured at: Submitted photo An encaustic painting by Elina Zebergs at Bech Books.
