Cambium Gallery, 1010 Duane St.

Welcoming Astoria-based artist Amie Pascal for the solo show “A Body Apart.” This exhibit delves into betrayals of the body, in all its bountiful guts and beautiful gore through abstract and surreal compositions referencing old medical anatomy to expose what it feels like going through this world in a sick, broken body and queer being. A reception with the artist will be held from 5 to 8 p.m.

Imogen Gallery, 240 11th St.

Made in Astoria, 1269 Commercial St.

Sea monster lore has captured imaginations for hundreds of years and “The Sea Monster Show” at this gallery is a community exhibit that brings these stories to life.

Sightings off the Columbia Bar and along the Oregon Coast occurred between the 1930s and 1960s, with one sea monster earning the name Colossal Claude.

Claude was described as a 40-foot animal with a horse-shaped head, an 8-foot neck, a big round body, and long tail. See “Colossal Claude,” by metal sculptor Dustin Nord, along with an array of paintings and mixed media pieces by regional artists.

RiverSea Gallery, 1160 Commercial St.

This gallery presents “Deep Dive,” a solo show by Oregon Coast printmaker and poet Duncan Berry, whose prints in the Japanese style of Gyotaku capture the rhythm of the sea.

Inspired by life at the wild edge of the continent, Berry creates print impressions taken directly from the inked surface of ocean creatures and plants. In this collection, he takes an immersive journey into the mysterious underwater realm just off the local coastline.

In addition to familiar fish living near the surface, Berry includes expressive images of a beautiful and bizarre menagerie of ocean creatures that live beyond the reach of light, 5,000 feet under the swell of the waves. Meet the artist between 5 and 8 p.m., enjoy refreshments and hear music from John Orr and Clarence Robinson. “Deep Dive” will remain on view through March 5.

West Coast Artisans Gallery, 160 10th St.

Celebrating what goes on in the water that surrounds Astoria, above and below the surface. Photographs and paintings of the boats that sail the waters of nearby rivers as well as images of the fish that swim below — or maybe just in our imaginations — will be on display along with work from other local artists.
