This is going to be a great show with allot of fantastic plein air work by 30 of the Pacific North West's Top Plein air painters.
The breathtaking vistas and scenic diversity of the Pacific Northwest's Columbia River Gorge region make it an ideal place to do "Plein Air Painting, painting done with an easel outdoors on location and in the moment. 
The event begins on August 28 with a five day paint out competition in locations in and around the Columbia River Gorge, and is followed by a month long exhibition of the paintings, opening on Sept 5, 6pm - 8pm in the Columbia Art Gallery.
