JD Kindle & The Eastern Oregon Playboys
The Columbia Center for the Arts
(CCA) will host a two-month art
show celebrating the best artwork
produced by Mid-Columbia River
Gorge residents. The 2015 Best of
the Gorge exhibition has become an
annual event that brings visitors
from around the world to experience
some of the finest art in the region.
The show runs June 5 through Au-
gust 2 at the Columbia Center for
that Arts, 215 Cascade Street, Hood
River.
“We created Best of the Gorge to
showcase the quality and diversity
of artists who live and work in the
Columbia Gorge. We hope to make it
a tradition,” said Christine
Knowles, co-curator with artist Bill
Sturman. “CCA’s Best of the Gorge
show is the premiere show featuring
the fine art work created by resi-
dents of our mid- Columbia area —
paintings, drawings, ceramics,
glass, sculpture, fiber, photography,
mixed media, and more,” said Stur-
man.
The Columbia River Gorge is
known as a thriving art scene and is
home to a vast array of well-known
and emerging artists. Works in both
2D and 3D will be on display, in a va-
riety of media, including drawing,
painting, photography, glass, ceram-
ics, sculpture, and mixed media.
CCA has engaged Jennifer Zika,
Curator of the Portland Art Museum
Sales and Rental Gallery as the juror
for the 2015 show for this premier ex-
hibition. Zika is well-versed in nu-
merous media, both 2D and 3D, and is
highly qualified to evaluate the cre-
ativity and technique expressed
therein and has juried numerous re-
gional art exhibitions. She will be se-
lecting individual works to be includ-
ed in the show and also selecting the
prize winners. This show is g under-
written by Celilo Restaurant & Bar,
Copper West Properties, and the
Gorge Magazine.
The opening of the show will be cele-
brated at an evening reception on June
5, the month’s First Friday, from 6-8 pm.
Singer/songwriter Kay Floria will be
accompanying herself on the piano,
with Randy Bell on bass. Juror Jen-
nifer Zika will be in attendance and
will share what she saw in the prize-
winning pieces that made them stand
out. The exhibition artists will be in at-
tendance as well. This event is open to
the public.
