Painters from throughout the Pacific Northwest and beyond gather annually in the Columbia River Gorge to capture the incredible light and views.

We are thrilled to have artists from throughout the Pacific Northwest and beyond, gathering again to capture the incredible light and views of the Columbia River Gorge. After four days painting en plein air, works will be displayed at Maryhill; juror Peggi Kroll Robert will award prizes to the most exceptional works and in categories such as “Best Sky,” “Best Mountain,” “Best Water,” “Maryhill Museum Award,” and a museum purchase award.

Paintings are available for purchase August 1 through August 28, 2021 in the Event Sales Gallery in the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust Education Center. Proceeds support Maryhill Museum of Art. As work is sold and removed, other work created during the paint-out will replace it.
