Astoria Visual Arts, 1000 Duane St.

Astorians Lezlie Amara Piper, Rachel Siegel and Derek Ecklund join forces to explore the intersection of the concept of synapse and the striking resemblance to other processes and imagery in the natural world.

From above, rivers appear like channels of the nervous system. Animals and plants receive and transmit signals within networks. Trees communicate with each other through mycelial networks. The human body and galaxies both form similar configurations.

Multimedia work, interactive pieces and augmented reality evoke play, connection and understanding. Join an artist talk at 5 p.m.

Imogen Gallery, 240 11th St.

This gallery is hosting a second solo exhibition for artist Matthew Dennison.

Known for his personality-filled portraiture paintings of animals, Dennison shifts it up by going back to his love of figurative painting. This series includes work that takes a strong narrative turn, stories waiting to be told.

Dennison takes a serious look at connections to place and coexistence with the natural world. With a strong nod to nostalgia, he portrays the delicate balance of life on the edge.

The exhibition will be on view through Sept. 9. Stop in to meet the artists from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Menagerie Co-op, 1162 Marine Drive

Sarah Hammond’s collection of embellished fluid artwork, inspired by natural beauty in the Pacific Northwest, represents emotional release and purification.

Hammond draws inspiration from nature, and each piece is imbued with a splash of Pacific Ocean water mixed with the paints. This location will have live music from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Paul Polson Studio Gallery, 100 10th St.

This is a retrospective of Paul Polson’s work: large oil paintings and water-based work from traveling in Europe. Many paintings are a mixture of figurative and landscape. The larger paintings lean toward Surrealism and the artist’s signature style of Strata painting.

RiverSea Gallery, 1160 Commercial St.

“Historia: Astoria’s Layered History” features paintings and mixed media works by Anna Magruder that swerve into surrealism.

She depicts colorful, controversial and perhaps lesser-known stories from Astoria’s turbulent past, selectively portraying eminent citizens, unsung workers, independent women, the Clatsop people, and their many endeavors. Her inspiration comes from researching topics from 1800 to 1950.

In “Foliage, Feathers, and Fur,” Kathleen Powers imagines the secret lives of wild and domesticated creatures in exquisitely rendered narrative portraits. Her charmed menagerie seems to exist in a magical realm. Recurrent themes are socializing, betrothals, secret adventures, and adapting to a changing world.

Meet the artists and enjoy refreshments at the opening reception from 5 p.m. and 8 p.m., with live tunes by Kit Garoutte and Ann Fleming.

Umpqua Bank, 1122 Duane St.
