with the First Thursday recep
tion and gallery opening, and
continue through Aug. 17 at
Columbia Center, 375 S. 18th
St., St. Helens.
“This is probably the most
important reception and art
show we have had at Columbia
Center,” said Maeona Urban,
chairwoman of the Columbia
Center Art Committee. “Not
only is the official opening of
the gallery important, but this is
also the major funding source
for the gallery and the art pro
gram."
Columbia Foundation, which
operates the art program, has
received notification that it has
been awarded up to $5,000 by
the Del Baker Charitable Trust
to install track lighting, exterior
signs identifying the gallery
and a hanging system. Howev
er, the gallery improvements
will cost $10,000, and Del Bak
er is challenging the communi
ty to match its donation. Co
lumbia Foundation will use all
proceeds from the sale of art
work in the Black Tie and Blue
Jeans show as matching funds
for this project.
Show visitors will be able to
bid on artwork during the show,
using the silent auction forms
posted at Columbia Center.
The silent auction will close
during the Black Tie and Blue
Jeans summer social at Deer
Island on Aug. 19.
“We are excited that the
artists themselves can support
the art gallery and that art ad
mirers can support the gallery
improvements and that all
money raised by us will be dou
bled by the Baker Charitable
Trust,” Urban said. “We hope
to have a good turnout for the
opening reception and we
hope all art admirers will at
tend.”
Although art shows have
been displayed in the Colum
bia Center since it opened in
1996, the St. Helens City

The City of Banks Boy Scout
Park, also called Log Cabin
Park, will hold an open house
during the Banks Barbecue
celebration on Aug. 20. The
City has received a Community
Development Block Grant for
some much-needed repairs to
the log cabin. Built in 1930 by a
group of local people as a gath
ering place for Boy Scouts, the
Log Cabin has continued to
support that activity. In later
years, the site ownership was
transferred to the City of
Banks.
The History Group has
some records of the building’s
history, but would like to gather
more. The group is seeking old

Council and the Columbia Cen

approved officially designating
the center as an art gallery.
The name, “The Gallery at Co

approved. However, the Art
Committee, which organizes,
schedules and hangs the
shows felt improvements in
lighting, signage and a hanging
system were needed for the art
space to meet gallery stan
dards.
