This year’s show features approximately 60 works of art created by dozens of talented artists from the Pacific Northwest and nationwide. All artwork is available for purchase. The Beauty of the Northwest Exhibit is open to the public, seven days a week, through October 1st through 30.
“I always look forward to seeing Northwest-themed art through the eyes of so many different artists. They each have a story to tell!” – Jackie Gilbert, Beauty of the Northwest Exhibit Co-chair
