See you in Ilwaco Friday evening!
I think that I can actually count on one hand the number of times our Oysterville Friday Night Gathering has been cancelled — with the exception of the Covid Days, of course. This coming Friday — day after tomorrow counts as one of those few!
I’ve cancelled in deference to the Artists’ Reception at the Columbia Heritage Museum being held that evening from 4 to 7 p.m. And, at least two of our “regular” Friday Nighters — Jean Nitzel and Tucker Wachsmuth — will have works on exhibit! Yay!!
The theme of this year’s Benefit Art Auction is “The Hidden World of Pacific Northwest’s Forests and Gardens” — a motif of mind-boggling possibilities! Over 60 works will be on display at the Museum’s main gallery for three weeks — October 21st through November 12. During that time, bids can be placed in-person at the museum, or online by going to fundraiser.bid/cphm. A link to the auction website can also be found on the front page of the CPHM website.
For those who would like first pick of any artwork in the auction, raffle tickets will be on sale at the Museum until the 4 pm opening on October 21st. Only 50 raffle tickets will be sold ($20 per ticket) and the winner can choose any artwork before the auction starts.
Meet the artists! Enjoy the refreshmets! Bid on your favorite artworks! All this and more from 4 to 7 at the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum! See you there!
