GEARHART — On the first Saturday of each month, stop by art galleries in Gearhart from 2 to 5 p.m. to wander through town, enjoy refreshments and meet local artists.

A Great Gallery, 576 Pacific Way

This gallery will focus on capturing favorite fall moments, like sunflowers and pumpkins, the crisp mornings and the smell of cinnamon. Susan Thomas, owner of A Great Gallery for 10 years, has been busy making fall canvases, trays and cards. Refreshments and treats will be served.

Gearhart Artful Home, 3350 U.S. Highway 101

This gallery will showcase artwork from John Beard alongside pastels by Deborah Albrecht and photographs by Sandy Vilahu.

Also on display will be kitchen items and charcuterie boards by CSBricca Designs. Snacks and drinks will be served during the event.

Speakman Studios, 1368 Pacific Way

Meet artists Diane and Rachel Speakman at their new gallery and studio space. They have renovated the former Gearhart Ironwerks building into a carefully curated multi-use art space.

The gallery, featuring oil paintings, ceramics and sculpture, will be open Fridays and Saturdays and by appointment. New landscapes and still life paintings from Diane, and abstracts from Rachel will be on display.

The Station, 3427 U.S. Highway 101

This art gallery, housed in a former filling station, will be open and features works by David Savinar and Janelle Baglien.

Savinar’s artwork has recently evolved into character studies of imagined or real people. Baglien is going more abstract with her signature seascapes. Both artists will also be accepting commissioned work.

Trail’s End Art Association, 656 A St.

Opening a new exhibit with works by Trail’s End Art Association artist Merlin “Ben” Benjamin, with an opening reception during the event.

Benjamin has been drawing and painting since childhood, taking inspiration from cartoons depicting family life, sports figures and classic cars. He began painting in oils in high school in Yakima, Washington, and continued with that medium for years.

After living in California, Alaska and Hawaii, Benjamin relocated to Seaside in 2020, where he and his wife bought a 1900 house and created a studio. There, he has continued a lifelong love of drawing and painting, inspired by the beach nearby.

Trail’s End Art Association, established in 1950 and located in a historic schoolhouse, rotates regular exhibits from association members. Benjamin’s exhibit will be on view through Oct. 28.
