Collin's Oils and Mccallum's Sculptures Bring Pizzazz to our Community Room

This is just a teaser folks.  Do yourself a favor and stop in to see this show through the end of July.  Admission to our artist's showing is free.  

There's abundant talent here on the North Coast, and GMM wants to share it with you!

Silver and gold and gorgeous! This is just a glimpse of the work Tom Mccallum does.  There are lighted sculptures, and glittering mosaics, and whimsical wall hangings.

Laura's 'sense of place' comes through loud and clear in her work.  This photographer was captivated by a couple of moss-laden tree paintings.  She's also chosen frames which set off the painting to perfection.  You'll just have to stop in and see for yourself.  There's much, much more to savor....

July Artists -Laura Collins and Tom McCallum

Do. Not. Miss. This. Show!  

Brian and Kate Johnstone and Patsy Chapin Show Their Stuff!

And delightful stuff it is!  You really should do yourself a favor and stop by to see this show.  The photos - really don't do either artist  justice.  Brian and Kate's work is both visual and tactile, and begs to be investigated further.    

 Johnstone Wall Hanging....much, much nicer in person!

Patsy Chapin's Ducklings - which really should be picked up and 
cuddled!

Soup Tureen, Ladle and bowls

One of many nautically themed pieces by Patsy....

June Artist Showing

Stop in for the reception to see the lovely pieces created by Patsy and Brian. If you can't make that, admission is free for visitors only attending the show in the Community Room.

In the second half of May....

We host another adoptathon for United Paws. It's not a cat show, it's a love-in!  Come in, fall in love with your feline soul mate, take home for purrs, entertainment, and lap warming!

Then lastly, but not leastly, our White Elephant Sale, where you'll find items to spark your curiosity, fill a need (or a want), and help us to fund replacement of our creaky, leaky front doors. (If your front door was opened 400-1000 times a month, it would wear out too!)

  

May is a Busy Month for GMM

First, we start our monthly Artist showings with a couple of fine local artisan crafters..........Gloria Guyer's quilts, and John Goertzen's fine woodcrafting pieces.

Then we wish Capt. Robert Gray a Happy Birthday! (We SO wish you were here Bob)

Open for the 2015 Season!

We are open regular hours 10-4 PM Thursday through Monday beginning today!  We have a full line up of artists scheduled to show for the year starting in May and we'll be posting the list soon.  If you would like to be notified when a new event is happening - art or otherwise - sign up over on the right.  

Please come in to say hello to Anna, tour the museum to see what's changed from last year, or if you've never been to the museum, you're missing out on a wonderful day of catching up on local history.  Plenty of parking, and there's a gem of a gift shop just inside the door.  We have new items all the time, so come in whenever you're driving by - (except on Tuesday and Wednesday - when we're closed).

Pre-Season Festivities at GMM

We open for regular hours Thursday - Monday 10-4PM on April 2nd, but for two days on the next two weekends, we'll have a scavenger hunt!  Bring the whole family and join in the fun.

Closed for Winter Hiatus, but.....

That doesn't mean we're not around.  If you have a group who would like to tour the museum, or need to speak to our director for any other reason, feel free to get in touch by clicking on the photo of Capt. Gray, or call us at 503-322-8411.  See you in March!

Kitty Purring, Beer Tasting and Art Looking....

Also on October 11th from 10 AM to 3 PM...

United Paws is bringing some homeless kitties (with very high hopes) to our Community Room just before the Beer Tasting.   We don't know exactly which cats will be coming, but peek at their Petfinder page here to see who might show up: Potential Lovebugs

Do you need the languid beauty and grace of a cat in your home? 

How about some vocalizing around dinnertime?  

Need a sweet someone to need you?

Well here's your chance silly!!

Here's the Beer Tasting and Art Looking part.....

Good Jobs are Plentiful in the Maritime Industry!

A last minute invitation was kindly accepted, and brought Dennis Murphy to the museum on Sunday, August 31 to spread the word  about "Exploring Possible Careers in the Maritime Industry."   This was a very interesting discussion that is particularly relevant to 16 to 26 year olds, who may not have embarked on any particular career path.  Dennis said "If someone is willing to work hard and follow instructions" there are lots of varied and well paying jobs available in the industry.     

September Artist's Showing and Reception

Come meet artists Dana Hulburt, Breanna Moran, and textile artist Jan Woodbury on Saturday September 6th from 2-4 PM!
