A Great Gallery, 576 Pacific Way

Since ancient times, the conch shell has been a symbol of power and royalty. For April’s event, this gallery will show a collection of shell art. Refreshments and treats will be served.

Gearhart Artful Home, 3350 U.S. Highway 101

This location will show functional art pieces by CSBricca Designs, including charcuterie boards, Lazy Susans and cocktail tables, with other local art and gift items. Find the artist’s studio within the shop. Drinks and snacks will be served during the event.

The Station, 3427 U.S. Highway 101

At this gallery, Janelle Baglien captures the mood and magnificence of the North Coast in acrylic paintings on canvas. In celebration of the elk herds that roam our coast, Baglien has captured a bull elk gazing out unto the ocean in Gearhart.

The original painting will be exhibited at the Station Studios and orders for reproductions will be taken during and after the opening.

Baglien is an artist and founder of Studio Art Direct, an art consulting firm serving the West Coast. Also, join artist David Savinar to view his most recent works, including some returning to the gallery and studio from his recent show “Savinar People” at Astoria Visual Arts.

Trail’s End Art Association, 656 A St.

Trail’s End will be presenting an exhibit of scanned photographs by artist Mary Nolen.

After retiring, Nolen discovered the technique of creating images using a flatbed scanner. She places found objects and achieves a black background by creating a black box to cover her images while scanning.

An outdoor photographer for most of her adult life, she loves being able to create visually appealing images from objects found on her walks. She draws on inspiration from still life painters.

Nolen was born and raised in Michigan. The Petoskey stone, which is Michigan’s state stone, can sometimes be found in her work.

Trail’s End, a nonprofit art association, was constructed in 1903 before being moved to its present meadow location. In addition to rotating art shows, the gallery offers prints, small objects, artworks and notecards.
