Astoria Visual Arts, 1000 Duane St.

“Simple Loving Kindness” is an exhibit showcasing local and regional artists who have used meditation to inspire their creative process.

Organized by Nancy Karacand, with insights from participating artists, the exhibit is inspired by “Healing into Life and Death” by Stephen Levine — a 1984 book that explores guided meditation practices focused on hope, healing, compassion, connection and joy.

A reception will be held starting at 4 p.m., with an artist talk at 4:30 p.m. to include a recording of the “Simple Loving Kindness” meditation read by Joanne Rideout, accompanied by Jennifer Goodenberger on piano.

Brut Wine Bar, 240 10th St.

Annie Klebart is a Pacific Northwest native and, as with many a neurodivergent millennial, has discovered her love for all the hobbies. As she loves to say, “jack of all trades, master of none.”

Since she also has an obscene amount of plants, she decided to share her love of fiber art and macrame by making her own plant hangers for said plants. Oh, and wall hangings are cool, too.

She can be seen out in the wild at Brut, either drinking wine or doing the windows, at the bowling alley, or doing jiu-jitsu in Seaside, because why have one hobby when you can have them all?

Delilah, 143 Ninth St.

Find hand-crafted cocktails and locally sourced food this month. Sara Ann Davidson will present a collection of drawings and photographs cataloging specimens for contemplation and further study.

Imogen Gallery, 240 11th St.

In the South Gallery, Imogen will present “The Power of the Wild,” a special two-person exhibition with Denise Monaghan and Matthew Dennison, sharing their love of the natural world and its sentinel beings. Both artists, working in oil, bring dramatic compositions celebrating the power of the wild.

The gallery is also welcoming back Kim Hamblin and her complex hand-cut paper assemblages. Known for her intricate compositions on wood panels, created with paper, acrylic paint, steel nails and an X-Acto knife, Hamblin brings a new series titled “Flock.”

Within this series, she considers relationships between humans and the wild, focusing on bird imagery and drawing inspiration from her love of biology, botany and anatomy. Meet the artists from 5 to 8 p.m. Exhibits will be on display through April 7.

Jadene Studios, 1292 Commercial St.

Jadene Wingert, owner and artist at this Commercial Street studio, has completed a new watercolor painting, “Irish Horse Cart,” for March.

Made in Astoria, 1269 Commercial St.

“Wreckage & Wanderlust” is a creative dialogue between husband-and-wife duo Heather Tomlinson and Greg Rawlins, merging Tomlinson’s tufting with Rawlins’ poetry.

In an effort to achieve the highest form of realization through alternating ekphrasis: an intuitive recounting of another’s creative expression compounded by one’s own, experience becomes art, and art reshapes experience.

As memory continuously shifts, warps and expands, these works explore its fluid nature, offering a reverent meditation on what is often overlooked. Inspired by seaside detritus, they embrace the beauty of fractured remnants, repurposed in perfect chaos.

Here, memory and experience intertwine, tossing and turning in liminal permanence. Meet the artists from 5 to 7 p.m.

Paul Polson Studio Gallery, 100 10th St.

Featuring Astoria landscapes and new “Strata” paintings by gallery owner and artist Paul Polson. On display are original oil paintings, including large works in an impressionist and surrealistic style.

Emphasis is on the figure and landscape, with gallery works stretching back to the 1970s, including watercolors from a trip to Europe in 1988. Polson also has a history of producing inflatable sculptures.

Pier 11 Studio, 77 11th St.

This new studio and gallery will feature work by 13 North Coast artists in an invitational exhibition. See oil paintings, mixed media, prints, photography and sculptures celebrating diverse perspectives in its first exhibition on the waterfront at Pier 11.

RiverSea Gallery, 1160 Commercial St.

“Cloud Gazing” is a collection of oil paintings on canvas by J. Scott Wilson celebrating his experience living on the North Coast, where the forces of nature bestow his daily beach strolls with shifting combinations of color and form.

His minimalist compositions are a contemplative response to the ever-changing light and mood at that magical point where the land greets the infinite expanse of sea and sky.

The liminal zone at the edge of the continent presents continually shifting drama, from a tumble of storm clouds glowering over dark breakers to slick glimmers of light caught in wave-washed sands, to a summer morning suffused in pearlescent mist.

Wilson lives and paints in Manzanita, where he also owns Polaris Gallery. His skyscapes, seascapes and landscapes alter with the seasons to reflect his experience on the edge.

View the exhibition from noon to 8 p.m. and attend an evening reception from 5 to 8 p.m., with refreshments and guitar accompaniment by John Orr. The artwork will remain on view through April 8.

Rusty Cup, 1213 Commercial St.

Find out the winners of the Astoria Downtown Historic District Association’s “We Love Downtown Astoria” photography contest.

The entries of seven winners will be shown at the downtown coffee shop between March 7 and March 9 before moving to Umpqua Bank. Come out and see what people love about Astoria.

Sea Gypsy Gifts, 1001 Commercial St.

Born and raised in Astoria, Karl Hauer has developed skills in watercolor painting for more than a decade, building upon his skills in sketching.

For Hauer, painting now serves as a vital escape and creative catalyst, mitigating the pressures of post-traumatic stress disorder. He finds solace and inspiration in ocean and wildlife themes. Join us for a snack, a glass of wine and a friendly smile.

West Coast Artisans, 160 10th St.

Art can be functional as well as beautiful. This gallery will show tables by Ron Davis, made of resin and supplemented with slices of maple burls. Combined with metal stands made from recycled table legs and other metal findings, these pieces bring to mind ocean waves and whirlpools.
