Coming up in Cannon Beach at DragonFire Gallery
Please join me for all 3 great events
Mari’s Fire
Saturday, June 20th
is the not-to-be missed opening of a special memorial show for Mari Rockett. As co-founder of DragonFire Gallery, she was a mentor to many artists and a committee member on the public art project, Sculpture Without Walls. Following her death in March, many artists and staff felt moved to do something to honor Mari and her passion for the arts. The result is Mari’s Fire, a show of work donated by artists in widely diverse mediums, all inspired by memories of Mari. All gallery proceeds from the show will go towards a piece of public art honoring Mari and her contribution to the arts in Cannon Beach and beyond.
Mari’s idea of a great party was the gallery chock full of artists and art lovers enjoying the creative process with live music and good food & drink at hand. Join us and help make June 20th that kind of party. Lee Clingman and Luminos will provide music while Inspired! Café will whip up some memorable food. For those who can’t get to town, there will be a special listing section on the website for viewing and purchasing.
Mari’s Fire burns on…

LOCATION
The Pacific Northwest is Plein Air Painter Paradise. Each year, artists gather in the Columbia River Gorge to take in the stunning beauty of its black basalt cliffs, ribbon-like waterfalls, and lush fir forests. In November 1986, Congress recognized the unique beauty of the Gorge when it made it the nation's first National Scenic Area. In a very small area, there is a diverse range of climate zones for artists to paint. Nestled along the Columbia River, the town of Hood River sits between the two snow capped volcanoes Mt. Hood and Mt. Adams. Only a 10 minute drive to the East takes you to the Transitional Zone where the Cascade Mountain Range meets the Desert. The High Desert and Deschutes River are 35 minutes further. To the West, visitors can wander the temperate rain forest and discover alpine lakes and streams. Portland is 1 hour West of Hood River and the scenic Oregon Coast is 2.5 hrs West of Hood River.Fee: $25.00 (Pacific Northwest Plein Air Show)Event Dates: 8/27/09 - 9/30/09Entry Deadline: 6/30/09
