Citiscapes
Small towns and large cities by local and regional artists
July 4 through 28
Cityscapes brings together a group of both local and regional artists who share a common theme of depicting thriving small towns as well as urbanscapes.
Gallery Manager, Catherine Kiewit, elaborates, “The Columbia River Gorge is famous for our National Scenic Area status, so our rural communities and metropolitan areas are often overlooked as an equally interesting art subject. The architecture, atmosphere, and movement of a Cityscape all capture a different element of life.”
Curator Jennifer Sigl has brought together a wonderful mixture of artists who capture each of these elements differently.
