Call to Artists and Model Makers for Group Show on 'BOATS' in September

September's Artist Showing is an open group show devoted to 
BOATS!   

Open to artists of all skill levels!

Old, new, ancient, sporting, working, purely pleasure, non-working, sunk, sailing. Canoes, ocean liners, dingies, rafts, fishing boats....you get the idea!  

Guidelines:  Work will need to be framed, or on a cradled box to hang on our fish line hanging system.

We have table and pedestal space for models brought in, and 20-30 wall spaces for paintings, drawings, etchings, mosaic, collage, etc.

1. All work must be handmade, no digital works. 

2. One or two pieces per artist. 

3. Gallery commission is 30%, and work under $150 is suggested, but we won't       be picky if you have work you need to price higher.

Let us know if you'll be bringing one or two pieces so we can reserve a spot for you.  Email us at info@garibaldimuseum.org or call us at 503-322-8411 between 10 and 4, Thursday through Monday.

You will bring your art to hang on Thursday, Sept 1 from 10-2 PM.  Please make sure your contact info is attached to the back of your work.  We prefer to have printed labels with Title, Medium and size, Artist name and Price, approximately 3x4", but we can print your labels for you if you email us that information 5-7 days before the show, and the labels will be waiting for you when you bring in your work.

Work that isn't sold must be picked up on Friday Sept 30 before 4 PM.

Mike Loney's Reception and Show

Mike Loney’s reception was well attended, with 22 people making time in their busy schedule to see this highly respected and talented artist from Cloverdale, OR.  Mike’s love of art is evident in the close observation and intricate details of his art.  Mike, a self-taught artist, has been painting for over 30 years.  Mike’s art is hanging in many galleries around Oregon.

One of Mike's gorgeous oil paintings

This is one of three paintings devoted to the late Tasha Tudor.

If you want to see which one won 'Best in Show' at the Oregon State Fair, 

you'll just have to come to the Museum to see it!

Utterly charming watercolors....

The artist and his wife Margie are justifiably proud of hanging a great show!

Mike's work will be on the walls of our Community Room through June.

Come see it!
