Discover what’s new at galleries and shops in downtown Astoria during this weekend’s Second Saturday Art Walk. Between noon and 8 p.m., see new exhibits, meet featured artists and enjoy music and refreshments.

Angi D Wildt Gallery, 106 10th St.

This gallery will be celebrating four years this month, having opened its doors in September 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Nestled among neighboring galleries, the space embraced its new home and has playfully promoted the block as “Galleries on 10th.”

The Angi D Wildt Gallery showcases the work of over 20 artists, curating a diverse collection of traditional and contemporary paintings, sculptures, photography, glass and more.

Astoria Art Loft, 106 Third St.

In September, this location on Third Street and Marine Drive will be showing the exhibit “Old Treasures,” with paintings, mixed media pieces and historic photographs gathered by North Coast artists.

In days gone by, the Art Loft was located next door to the Astoria Fire Department, as highlighted in the show.

Astoria Studio Collective, 372 10th St.

Among a labyrinth of upstairs studios on 10th Street, find a Writer’s Guild book fair, with authors Stephanie Clemens, Jan Johnson, Asher Finch and Veondre Love, from 4 to 8 p.m. Saturday.

Authors will display their books for sale, plus Finch and Love will read from their work. Other collective artists will also have their studios open to visit. Look for flashing signs marking the entrance.

Astoria Visual Arts, 1000 Duane St.

Portland-based nonprofit Gather Make Shelter kicks off its national Monograph Tour — which will take participants around Oregon and the U.S. over the next year — at Astoria Visual Arts.

The tour serves as a dialogue to redefine the idea of home across Oregon and elsewhere, focusing on houselessness and poverty through visual art and monograph books. It is being supported in part by the Andy Warhol Foundation.

Featured artists include Mark Rodriguez, Marz Alien, Fhad Sadiq, Violet Fae Rabbit, Jaycob, Aileen McPherson, Faera, Tonnisha Tripplet, Fawn and Madrone. An artists’ talk and reception begin at 5 p.m.

Brut Wine Bar, 240 10th St.

This location is featuring the work of Stephanie Hatch, a contemporary Northwest artist working with analog collage and mixed media, for September.

Hatch creates surreal landscapes in which she revisits her childhood sense of wonder and belief in fantastic possibilities. Her work is drenched in a saturated color palette reminiscent of pop culture that will be familiar to kids of the 1980s and 1990s.

Imogen Gallery, 240 11th St.

This gallery presents two solo exhibitions: “At the Beach: Mirrors & Reflections of the Subconscious” and “Natural Wonders.”

In “At The Beach,” the gallery welcomes back Laura Hamje with a new collection inspired by living on the water’s edge, and the simple yet profound power of beauty and introspect it provides.

About the series, she shares: “Certain landscapes invoke specific states of mind. Images from the beach are meditations on the connection between matter and air — the line between sky and earth become blurred by ocean waters. It is a place with no divisions and the interconnectedness of all things is omnipresent.”

“Natural Wonders” is a solo exhibition of new photographic prints by Deb Stoner, known for her elegant botanical still-life photography reminiscent of great Dutch masters’ paintings.

Her photographs, rich in color and texture, showcase a vast array of plant life found in her own garden and the gardens of friends and colleagues. These close-up images bring an astonishing view of petal, leaf and velvety stipe, inviting the viewer into the world of botany.

Jadene Studios, 1292 Commercial St.

At this gallery, artist Jadene Wingert will display a portion of her “Oak Tree Series” originals, including the featured piece “Oak and Horse.”

The shop offers matted or framed prints; also tiles, mugs and other pieces with images from Jadene’s originals. The studio will be open from noon to 6:30 p.m.

LightBox Photographic Gallery, 1045 Marine Drive

Two featured shows continue at this gallery: The Analog Forever Exhibit, with work from 33 artists featuring alternative analog processes, and a solo exhibit by Michael Puff, “Platinum/Palladium Kaleidoscope,” a collection of hand-colored alternative process prints.

LightBox also features work from 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.

In the exhibit “Kith and Kin,” mother and daughter Denise Monaghan and Anna Kaufman explore the intricate relationships humans have with the myriad forms of life that inhabit planet Earth.

The artists explore the exploitation of the natural world and its commoditization and the belief that humans are entitled to its resources.

This body of work invites viewers to reflect on our relationship with animals and the broader network of life, reminding us that we are an integral part of nature, not its masters.

Menagerie Co-op, 1162 Marine Drive

Featuring Seaside artist Kathy Esnard and Hammond artist Sarah Hammond in “Celebrating Our Coast.”

Esnard will show recent artworks, including original framed pastels, mini watercolors, signed print notecards and framed prints. Hammond’s collection of embellished fluid artwork is inspired by the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest.

Each piece is imbued with coastal energy, with a splash of Pacific Ocean water mixed with the paints. Enjoy live music with the artists from 5 to 8 p.m.

Paul Polson Studio Gallery, 100 10th St.

Showing a retrospective body of work by artist and gallery owner Paul Polson. Offerings include large oil paintings and watercolors. Themes include figures and landscapes in impressionistic and surreal styles.

RiverSea Gallery, 1160 Commercial St.

Opening “Implements,” an exhibition of paintings and steel sculptures by Portland artist Jill Torberson, whose creative inspiration extends from quotidian objects to airy structural forms.

Torberson is fascinated by the familiar and serviceable utensils that we wield in our daily pursuits. Many of these implements, tools and gadgets hail from times past, yet remain familiar.

Rendered in realistic detail on a sheet of steel, Torberson’s process involves applying background colors on steel sheets, and then aging them outside for months to achieve a weathered patina.

In contrast to her paintings, Torberson’s metal sculptures are minimalist geometric expressions. Her design approach centers around the theme of “lightness,” using the structural integrity of steel sheets and wire to create works that feel light. They seem to float and evoke fragility.

Meet the artist from 5 to 8 p.m., enjoy refreshments plus guitar accompaniment by David Drury.

Studio 2 gilded+frayed, 1033 Marine Drive

At a new studio and shop in Astoria’s 1924 Occident Building, owner and artist Barbara Odoms draws inspiration from the Japanese philosophy and aesthetic of wabi-sabi.

Studio 2 features rustic decor and visuals made by local artists. Enjoy a cupcake during the artwalk in honor of Odoms’ birthday, and try coffee supplied by the studio’s in-house Sun Bean Coffee Co.

West Coast Artisans Gallery, 160 10th St.

Most of artist Kitty Paino’s subjects are related to the natural world in the lower Columbia region and on the North Coast, where she has spent most of her life.

She works in acrylic and mixed media. A recent passion has been creating with oil and cold wax, plus other techniques.

Paino believes in making art that the journey is the reward, and this makes it easier to experiment, be mindful and stay in the moment.
