Gorge Guide

On Saturday and Sunday, May 2 and 3, 2009, more than thirty artists in the Mid-Columbia region of the Columbia Gorge will open their studios to the public as part of the region’s second organized open studios tour. Come on an art adventure and see artists in their natural habitats, their studios in communities along the Columbia River in Oregon and Washington, east of Portland and west of the Deschutes River.

The array of artwork produced by Gorge artists is incredible. The tour will feature original works by artists living and working in the region. Participating artists will open their work spaces for the public to view how and where they work, and to ask the artist directly any questions about their work, but only for two days. Visitors will have the chance to stop at the studios of their choice any time between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

Through Gorge Artists Open Studios, tourists will enhance their knowledge of art and culture in the Columbia Gorge, and view and purchase artwork not available in galleries.
