Plein Air celebrates 11 years Aug. 7-30
In celebration of scenic
beauty of the Columbia
River Gorge, the Columbia
Center for the Arts will hold
its 11th Annual Pacific
Northwest Plein Air Aug. 7-
30 — a series of events fea-
turing the art of painters
and writers. Plein air (in
open air) brings artists and
writers from around the
country to draw creative in-
spiration from the many vis-
tas of the Gorge. Artists are
invited to spend three days
visiting some of the most vi-
sually remarkable sites in
the Gorge during a three-day
“Paint-Out” for visual artists
and “Write-Out” for writers.
Plein Air Art Exhibition
The Plein Air Art Exhibi-
tion is a juried show that
highlights the works of
artists from North America,
and includes a juror work-
shop, artists’ gatherings, and
plenty of opportunities to
engage with the beautiful
outdoors. During the first
week of August (prior to the
opening of the exhibition),
invited artists will set up in
various outdoor locations
throughout the area to paint.
On Thursday, August 6, 4-
6pm, artists will set up in
downtown Hood River for the
Quickdraw event, during
which they have a two-hour
timeframe to create a work of
art. All these plein air im-
ages will be hung salon-style
and will be on display from
August 7-30.
“You can’t go wrong with a
gallery full of paintings from
The Columbia Gorge Nation-
al Scenic Area for inspira-
tion,” says the art show’s cu-
rator Cathleen Rehfeld. “We
have selected 40 of the most
talented and inspired artists
to participate in Plein Air,
and there is always a sense of
suspense as no one knows
what the work will look like
until it is hung in the
gallery.”
The public is invited to at-
tend the Collector Preview
Party August 7, 4-6pm for
first choice of purchase as
well as the Opening Recep-
tion 6-8pm to meet the artists
and the award winners. Over
$3000 in prizes will be award-
ed.

Plein Air Writing Event
The writing portion of the
Plein Air show is an open-
call event that culminates in
displaying writers’ work in
the Gallery, publication on
the Columbia Art Center
website, and a public reading
in the Center’s theatre on
Sunday, August 9. Writing of
all types, from prose to poet-
ry, come together to write in
the beautiful outdoors of the
Columbia Gorge.

PROTECT CHILDREN from increased risk of skin
cancer later by applying sunscreen now.
Just a few serious sunburns can increase
your child’s risk of skin cancer later in life.
Kids don’t have to be at the pool, beach, or on
vacation to get too much sun. Their skin needs
protection from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet
(UV) rays whenever they’re outdoors.
Seek shade. UV rays are strongest and most
harmful during midday. So it’s best to plan in-
door activities then. If this is not possible,
seek shade under a tree, an umbrella, or a pop-
up tent. Use these options to prevent sunburn,
and not to seek relief after it has happened.
Cover up. Long-sleeved shirts and long
pants and skirts can protect from UV rays.
Clothes made from tightly woven fabric offer
the best protection. A wet T-shirt offers much
less UV protection than a dry one, and darker
colors may offer more protection than lighter
colors. Some clothing certified under interna-
tional standards comes with information on
its ultraviolet protection factor.
Get a hat. Hats that shade the face, scalp,
ears, and neck are easy to use and give great
protection. Baseball caps are popular among
kids, but they don’t protect their ears and
neck. If your child chooses a cap, be sure to
protect exposed areas with sunscreen.
Wear sunglasses. They protect your child’s
eyes from UV rays, which can lead to cataracts
later in life. Look for sunglasses that wrap
around and block as close to 100% of both
UVA and UVB rays as possible.
Apply sunscreen. Use sunscreen with at
least SPF 15 and UVA as well as UVB protec-
tion every time your child goes outside. For
the best protection, apply sunscreen generous-
ly 30 minutes before going outdoors. Don’t for-
get to protect ears, noses, lips, and the tops of
feet. Take sunscreen with you to reapply dur-
ing the day, especially after your child swims
or exercises. This applies to waterproof and
water-resistant products as well.
■
Follow the directions on the package for
using a sunscreen product on babies less than
6 months old. All products do not have the
same ingredients; if your or your child’s skin
reacts badly to one product, try another one or
call a doctor. Your baby’s best defense against
sunburn is avoiding the sun or staying in the
shade.
Keep in mind, sunscreen is not meant to
allow kids to spend more time in the sun than
they would otherwise. Try combining sun-
screen with other options, like playing in the
shade, to prevent skin damage. By taking ac-
tion now, you can help prevent your child’s
risk of skin cancer later in life!

FIRST PLACE WINNER in the 2014 Plein Air competition
event is an exciting show-
case of the diverse writing
talent in the Gorge,” com-
mented Plein Air writing cu-
rator Julie Hatfield. “Writers
tend to be solitary, so it’s a
unique opportunity to work
as a group and share what
we’ve created. And by show-
casing writers and visual
artists together, it’s a more
satisfying experience for our
audience and makes this
event one of the most dis-
tinctive Plein Air exhibi-
tions in the country.”
This writing event is gen-
erously sponsored by the
Schmuck Family Fund.
