At Astoria’s monthly Second Saturday Art Walk, galleries unveil new exhibits and offer a chance to explore the local art scene. Meet artists behind the work with live music, wine and refreshments between noon and 8 p.m. Saturday. Find events and shows at the following locations.

Angi D Wildt Gallery, 106 10th St.

Richard Burke has long appreciated artists C.M. Russell and Thomas Moran’s interpretations of the vast Western landscape. Majestic stands of trees and reflections in clear water are Burke’s characteristic subjects. His work uses a limited palette and is set apart by the artist’s palette knife technique.

Also featured at the gallery will be Melanie Burns, whose fluid acrylics are inspired by colors found in wild storms, sunsets and Alaskan landscapes. Many of Burns’ pieces show her connection to whales.

ARTstoria Gallery, 1168 Commercial St.

This gallery will show landscape paintings of familiar North Coast scenes, with a theme of “positive energy.” Also offered are scarves, prints, journals and cards.

Astoria Art Loft, 106 Third St.

Located above Fine Art Supply at the corner of Third Street and Marine Drive, this space will show “Various Cultures,” an exhibit of hand-woven tapestries by the Damascus Fiber Arts School in Damascus. Pieces in the exhibit are made using weaving techniques from around the world.

Astoria Brewing Co. Taproom on 12th, 119 12th St.

In the exhibit “New Perspectives,” local artist Missy Strain explores film, architecture and atmosphere perspectives in Astoria with colorful illustrations. Prints will be available from the upcoming “Inebriated Astoria” passport and “Illuminated Astoria” film location collection.

Astoria Studio Collective, 372 10th St.

Artist Scott Huster often seeks solitude at high altitudes and in snow-covered terrain. In this gallery’s featured photography exhibit, which features panoramas of the Swiss Alps, he invites viewers to find a moment of peace.

Astoria Visual Arts, 1000 Duane St.

Local young artists’ creative talent will be displayed during this gallery’s 10th annual Student Art Show. This showcase includes art from students at Astoria, Knappa, Seaside and Warrenton high schools, alongside work from Astoria Choice Academy and homeschool students.

Each student was given a 12-by-12-inch panel, courtesy of City Lumber Co., to create their artwork. Numerous awards will be presented. This show fosters an appreciation for the arts and highlights our community’s youth.

Brumfield Gallery, 1033 Marine Drive

Continuing exhibits at this gallery will mark its last art walk event in Astoria before moving to Cannon Beach.

Brut Wine Bar, 240 10th St.

At this location, a collection by local photographer Tracy Phinney will focus on natural beauty through macro images and other touches.

Cambium Gallery, 1010 Duane St.

This gallery begins its show season with the solo presentation “Blooms Of Love” by Leah Kohlenberg.

The artist almost lost her mother this year, and this show celebrates her mother’s continued presence in her life. Kohlenberg will be painting a large-scale floral live on Saturday and invites folks to stop by and share stories of their beloved mothers.

Imogen Gallery, 240 11th St.

Welcoming back April Coppini with a new series of charcoal drawings. Known for her passionate interest in creatures and their importance to place, Coppini brings a much-anticipated series of charcoal (with an occasional punch of pastel) drawings for her first solo show in three years.

Through expressive mark-making, she portrays the wild, unseen and unexpected in her depictions of flora and fauna. This series began with moments of quiet meditation along the banks of a pond. Coppini took solace watching the wildlife within their habitat, finding peace in the rhythm of life from a pond’s edge. The exhibition will remain on display through June 3.

LightBox Photographic Gallery, 1045 Marine Drive

“New Visionaries,” a group exhibit at this gallery, will recognize the work of students in university art departments across Oregon.

Thirty-two student photographers, whose work shows vision and creativity and covers various photographic processes, were selected for the show.

Also, LightBox will continue to show Jody Miller’s exhibit “Scenes From the Park” and feature the work of The Guild at LightBox, consisting of Jim Fitzgerald, Jody Miller, Julie Moore, Marc McVey, Rachel Wolf, Sam Blair, Michael Puff and Loren Nelson.

Made in Astoria, 1269 Commercial St.

Here, new weavings, ink drawings and prints by Shelby Meyers and Liz Harris will explore geometric and organic lines, and patterns within patterns.

Meyers slowly creates frame loom weavings, sprinkled with found fishing line and foraged fiber, inspired by the speed of gardens, curve of river bends, and power of structure being built weave by weave.

For the past two decades, Harris has focused on black-and-white patternmaking. In drawings, prints, murals (and sometimes tattoos) she emphasizes illusion and paradox, mirroring some of the strange and poetic forms life takes. Limited edition risograph zines will be available. Meet the artists from 5 to 7 p.m.

Paul Polson Studio Gallery, 100 10th St.

Showing oil and watercolor paintings of varied sizes that incorporate abstract, surreal and impressionistic styles.

RiverSea Gallery, 1160 Commercial St.

At this gallery, “Maybe Not the Norm” brings together Benz & Chang and Karen Wippich, two artists beloved throughout the Pacific Northwest and beyond.

The watercolors of Benz & Chang are peopled with mysterious characters, often caught in improbable plights with surreal implications. A touch of humor, a twist of fate, a leap of faith — anything is possible in these intimate, dark-edged scenes.

Wippich creates mixed media paintings from compilations of “vintage photos, acrylic paint and magic.” These lively, narrative works are filled with sass, satire and social commentary, engaging the viewer with droll observations on the absurdities of contemporary life.

Meet the artists from 5 to 8 p.m. and enjoy refreshments, plus musical accompaniment by John Orr and Clarence Robinson.

Sleeper Coffee, 1332 Commercial St.

Presenting the work of 10 winners of the “We Love Downtown Astoria” photography contest, organized by The Astoria Downtown Historic District Association.

Art will be accompanied by music from Sapsucker between 6 and 8 p.m. Grab coffee and pastries and enjoy local art with a local band, celebrating culture downtown.

Studio 2 at the Van Dusen Mercantile, 1535 Commercial St.

The Van Dusen Mercantile has expanded its artistic offerings with many new artists. The studio will offer a collection of small acrylic paintings for Mother’s Day, from the series, “Lingering Past the Days.” Each 8-by-8-inch painting is trimmed with crushed velvet.

West Coast Artisans Gallery, 160 10th St.

The soft rains and foggy, cloudy days of spring are represented in the work of Brianna Horton.

Her “Rainwater” series captures a gentle spring rain on canvas, while her “Fog” series appreciates Astoria’s tepid weather. Each brushstroke portrays Horton’s transition from the overbearing sun of her younger years to a cooler climate in Oregon.

Xanadu Astoria, 1104 Marine Drive

Continuing last month’s exhibit of “Looser and More Free,” featuring new watercolors by Bryan Hobein that depict the relaxed and nude male figure. Hobein is an artist living and working in Astoria.
