Event Type : Murdock Trust

This exhibition features student and graduate paintings from the Aristides Atelier, at Gage Academy of Art in Seattle, WA where Master artist, Juliette Aristides offers foundational skills necessary for realist artists. We connect with this atelier through our collections of Richard Lack paintings, whose atelier was the source of her training. In our third collaboration with Aristides Atelier we present the themed exhibition The Influence of Women and the continued story of atelier training.

Painters from throughout the Pacific Northwest and beyond gather in the Columbia River Gorge to capture the incredible light and views.  After four days of painting en plein air, works are displayed at Maryhill; juror Peggi Kroll Robert will award prizes to the most exceptional works. Paintings are available for purchase August 2 through August 22, 2020 in the Event Sales Gallery in the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust Education Center. Proceeds support Maryhill Museum of Art.

Maryhill Museum of Art, working in partnership with Oregon Art Education Association and Washington Art Education Association, showcases teacher talent by inviting educators to participate in annual juried exhibitions in the MJ Murdock Charitable Trust Education Center.

This year, we invited regional arts educators to submit work around the theme Women of Influence. The theme engages artists to examine women who have influenced the artist’s life and/or artwork. It can be reflected through any media or style. 

This exhibition features artists from Oregon.
