About Columbia Art Gallery

Columbia Art Gallery serves the needs of art patrons and artists throughout the Columbia River Gorge and beyond.

Enjoy a new art show each month!

Art shows are designed for a broad range of interests.  Themes range from the sublime to the outrageous.  They give you something to enjoy as well as something to think about.

Count on shows in the dead of winter to boost your spirits, and count on shows in the middle of summer to challenge your mind or appeal to your senses.

Columbia Art Gallery

Ever mindful of the need to serve people who live in our community, we also aim to provide exceptional art experiences for our visiting guests.
