It was the year Cannon Beach locals Jeffrey Hull, Joyce Lincoln and Sharon Amber all decided to open their respective galleries, among a suite of others who opened around the same time. It was also the fi rst year of the Stormy Weather Arts Festival, a citywide event that showcases a wide range of visual and performing arts. The festival will take place Friday through Sunday, Nov. 3 to 5. In its 30th year, the festival features musicians, the Dancing in the Rain Fashion Show with local and national designer labels, and an opportunity to meet artists to discuss their creations. Despite the name’s warning of inclement weather, the festival has evolved into one of Can- non Beach’s most popular events. This celebra- tion of local artistry helped Cannon Beach get recognized as one of “The 100 Best Art Towns in America” by author John Villani. Hull recalls the festival’s humble beginnings. “I remember asking people in town if they were here for Stormy Weather Arts Festival, and they would say ‘huh?’” said Hull, who is known for his sea and landscape paintings. “It’s defi - nitely grown as an event. In the fi rst fi ve years, people didn’t really know about it. Clearly, it has resonated.” ‘An adventure’ Amber doesn’t remember much about the fi rst year of the festival, other than getting a knock on the door from a Chamber of Commerce employ- ee asking if she’d be interested in participating in a brand new art festival. “It started as an itty-bitty thing,” Amber said. “I didn’t know if it was going to get off the ground. I thought it would be too late in the sea- son. Turns out it was successful because it is late in the season.” Amber is among the professional jewelers who will be featured at Friday’s Stormy Weather Arts Benefi t Cocktail & Dessert Party. She’s been a jeweler for 44 years, including 30 in Cannon Beach. While the ocean often serves as a design in- spiration, this year visitors can expect to see jew- elry refl ecting the nearby woods. “It’s easy to go about your day and to not see the beauty that surrounds you, especially here,” Amber said. The natural world is integral to why artists feel inspired to work in Cannon Beach. And, as any person who lives on the coast knows, in the winter, mother nature isn’t always friendly. But for Jane Brumfi eld, the festival commit- tee chair and owner of Imprint Gallery, the blus- tering winds and intense rainfall is part of what PHOTO BY ERICK BENGEL Saturday, Nov. 4 Friday, Nov. 3 • 7:30 to 10 p.m. Stormy Weather Arts Benefi t Cocktail & Dessert Party Interact with professional jewelry artists who discuss their techniques while their works are being modeled.

But they would just bundle up and get blown over to the next gallery,” Brumfi eld said. “It becomes an ad- venture almost. It’s a shared experience.” Timeless art Jim Paino, interim director of the Chamber of Commerce and festival committee member, said the festival has evolved from a small community event into a tourism-based one. “We want to make it bigger and better. It’s always a lot of work, but we’ve built it, and we want to keep it going for many years to come,” Paino said. The number of galleries has grown. Recent additions, like musicians and the fashion show, continue to diversify and expand. But one aspect of the festival seems to remain constant: the peo- ple who visit.

Cost: $25. Location: Cannon Beach Community Hall “I have about 15 people who have been com- ing for years,” Hull said. “They are clients, but really they are friends. I know about their kids and their dogs.” Lincoln, owner of Northwest By Northwest Gallery, has had a similar experience. Over the past 30 years, the consistent group of visitors and locals who return each year have become a kind of arts community family, she said. There are lots of beautiful places to experi- ence art in the Pacifi c Northwest. But, Lincoln said, Cannon Beach’s reputation as an art town isn’t determined by the number of galleries or artists, but by the type of art and the culture of the people who make it and sell it. “(Cannon Beach) is a place to connect with artists, gallery owners, friends. It’s an authentic experience,” Lincoln said. “Trends are trends,” but the art that people buy in Cannon Beach is often timeless, she add- ed. “It’s not something you’re going to get tired of.” Susan Tone Broker c: 503.354.4072 e: susantone@nehalemtel.net Maryann Sinkler Andrea Mace Geri Lane Broker c. 503.440.9280 e: maryanns@remax.net Broker c. 503-440-4024 e: Andrea.k.mace@remax.net Broker c: 503.480.9846 e: gerilane@remax.net Hilary Herman Shelley Parker Broker c: 503-791-4718 e: HilaryHerman@hotmail.com Broker c: 503-739-1977 e: Shelley.Parker@mail.com Member of 2 MLS Systems Each office is independently owned & operated 79070 COVE BEACH RD Sunday, Nov. 5 Broker c: 503.440.1648 e: egranebrown@gmail.com 219 N.
