When the spring wildflowers arrive in the Columbia River Gorge in 2023, they will be greeted by more than 40 artists who will be working to capture their beauty.
Pacific Northwest Plein Air in the Columbia River Gorge is a “wet paint” show. Purchased artworks are taken home by their buyers when they are sold.
Look for artists painting in the Gorge between April 24–27, including on the museum grounds. Follow @maryhillmuseum and #pnwpleinair2023 to see artists in action!
Completed paintings will be available for purchase in the museum’s M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust Education Center from April 30–May 29. A portion of the proceeds support Maryhill Museum of Art.
Maryhill Museum of Art is pleased to partner with Friends of the Columbia Gorge to showcase the connection between arts and conservation.
