Upcoming Exhibitions:
May: Contours by Travis London
Travis London’s solo exhibition, titled “Contours”, explores the diverse landscapes and nonhuman inhabitants that make up the Pacific Northwest. The paintings chronicle the back country of some of the last wild places and aim to evoke a sense of interconnectedness, beauty and calls us to protect these public lands.
June: Storyteller Quilters group
Storytelling is a tradition in all cultures, first as oral and pictorial such as cave paintings. Our group was formed because we all wanted to continue that tradition by using quilts to present visual stories. Our most recent challenge was to create 30" x 30" monochromatic pieces, each in a different color on the color wheel. We complemented these pieces by each creating an achromatic black, white, and gray quilt.
July: High School Art Exhibit
For the month of July, the Second Story Gallery is hosting its annual exhibition of artwork from local high school students in the Camas School District. This showcase highlights the creativity and skill of our young artists. Visitors can see the students’ diverse range of mediums, including painting, sculpture, and mixed media.
August: Middle School Art Exhibit
Following the high school exhibit, the Second Story Gallery is featuring an equally impressive collection from our middle school students at Liberty, Odyssey, and Skyridge Middle Schools. This showcase provides a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the budding talents of younger artists and encourages their continued artistic growth.
September: Call for Art - Harvest/Abundance
