The Columbia River Organization of Artists is moving into it's fourth year. We are a small club and meet in the Ilwaco Community Center in SW WA. However, the community center lucked into a grant to remodel during 2008. So, we are floating somewhat among members homes.
During this time we will remain active through the Astoria Visual Arts Center (AVA) across the Columbia River in Oregon. We hope to have an "All Things Paper" show at the AVA in February.
When we are active, we have fund-raising art sales and shows that have been progressively well attended. Our newsletter, the CROA-GRAM, keeps our membership in touch. We are currently distributing a 2008 calendar that features art work appearing on the AVA web page.
Our purpose is to encourage and support artists and hobbyists on the south end of the peninsula. We are, of course, non-profit. I wish I could upload photos to acquaint you with us!
Among our members we have oil painters, watercolorists, ceramic artists, jewelry crafters, card collage designers, pen & ink experts and a llama wool spinner who knits fine lacy scarves.
Here on the Long Beach Peninsula we are blessed with an incredible natural environment of expansive dunes, pristine beaches, romantic light houses (2) and tiers of surf that defy taming.
It is a biome that is truly relaxing. BM
