The Tradition Continues!
Columbia Art Gallery in Hood River continues its tradition of featuring Small Works for the Holiday Art Show!
Make seeing this show part of your holiday tradition. Every year, local and regional artists create smaller pieces just in time for the gift-giving season.
Find affordable treasures and remember that the artist who created the work benefits directly from the sale.
Special Holiday Hours
In recognition of the holiday season, the Center will be open daily from November 27 through Christmas Eve, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The gallery will be closed on Christmas Day, and open again December 26 & 27.
Join the Festive Opening Reception
The public is invited to the festive artist reception on Friday, Dec. 4 from 6 to 8 p.m. Complimentary dessert and hot cider will be served; beer and wine will also be available.
Small & Affordable
The Small Works ArtShow is a great opportunity to buy an original piece of art by artists who normally create pieces on a larger scale (and at higher price point). The scale can often allow the artwork to be more affordable and accessible; and can turn people from just admirers into collectors.
In addition to featuring the Small Works ArtShow, the gallery will continue to exhibit a wide range of art items that can serve as special gifts. Along with new paintings and sculptures, there will be beautiful crafts available for purchase. Exquisitely made holiday ornaments will be for sale created from various media including glass, ceramic, and silk fiber. A range of jewelry and other wearable art will be among the newest additions to the holiday display.
Shopping Local Supports Your Community
Columbia Art Gallery manager Catherine Kiewit says with the economy the way it is, it is more important than ever to shop locally and support the community businesses. “It is much more sustainable and environmentally friendly to do shopping within a modest radius of your home.
"I make a point of shopping locally and specifically at the Columbia Art Gallery because it really is a gift that continues to give. The artist who created the work benefits from the sale, as does our non-profit art gallery, and the recipient can feel good knowing their gift will help sustain the good work we hope to continue to do in this community.”
