The Columbia River: Wallula to the Sea featuring works by Thomas Jefferson Kitts and Erik Sandgren 

The Columbia River is a significant feature in the regional landscape. It is a companion for those who travel east and west between Astoria, Portland, and the mouth of the Snake River, and it is a destination for countless fishermen, water sports aficionados, and outdoor enthusiasts. The Columbia River: Wallula to the Sea is being organized to celebrate the active and diverse ways in which humans have interacted with the river, its beauty, and its bounty. The interpretive goal of the display is to provide the public with an opportunity to reflect on the many facets of the river’s identity and to visually chronicle some of the human behaviors that shape its daily life—past and present. Within these parameters, we encourage visitors to think critically about the diverse—and sometimes competing—economic enterprises at the forefront of the exhibition. 

Approximately 70 historic and contemporary paintings and photographs showing Middle and Lower Columbia River landscapes, peoples, ideas, and structures are on display, among them 20 works commissioned by prominent Portland-area artists Thomas Jefferson Kitts and Erik Sandgren. The exhibition also contains select examples of regional material culture by Indigenous artists. The works are drawn from the museum’s permanent collection and borrowed from public collections, private collectors, and local artists.  

The Dalles Lions Club meet each Tuesday at Spooky's Restaurant from noon to 1:00PM.

Learn about the benefits of our native oak trees. 

Details w/ costs:
Did you know that our native oak tree can help you steward a fire resilient landscape? That oaks and the plants that grow along with them can support over 200 species of pollinators and wildlife? From butterflies to migrating birds, Oregon white oak is a cornerstone of our native ecosystem-offering seasonal interest, fire resilience, and unparalleled resources for wildlife in wildlands and your yard alike! Join the East Cascades Oak Partnership (ECOP) this April for an evening of art and learning around this incredible resource and learn about practical ways you can support local ecosystems, wildlife, and create a more fire resilient landscape for your home. ECOP is a group who recognized the importance of Oregon white oak habitats to our quality of life, to a strong economy, and to the well-being of hundreds of species of plants and wildlife with which we share our home. We are comprised of over 25 state and federal agencies, nonprofits, tribes, businesses, and local landowners who are collaborating to leverage resources, share knowledge, and implement conservation strategies that will help protect vulnerable oak habitats.

The Dalles Area Chamber of Commerce welcomes all to our Community Affairs Forum. Join us as we hear issues from community and political leaders that impact our area. Share your concerns, information, or ask questions during this session. We hope to see you there!

Fresh Perspective in Art

The 2024 Gorge Artists Open Studios Tour April 26 - 28, 2024, daily hours 10am - 5pm

The art world is known for being filled with outliers — those creative thinkers who approach their art and craft in a unique, original way. The Gorge Artists Open Studios Tour is filled with such artists — whose work is exemplary, who live and work in diverse settings, whose medium or approach is uncommon and rare. What is so unique about the Columbia River Gorge is that the environment itself is an outlier: the winding drive between studio stops can take you from forests to fields, rivers to mountains, and moss to basalt cliffs. So unique, as to be difficult to fully describe. It’s no wonder there are so many inspiring artists in the area — the area itself is inspirational.

This annual tour, now in its 18th year, features 45 local artist studios showcasing a diverse variety of work — from painting to ceramics, jewelry to textiles, woodworking to photography, metalwork to glass, basketry, quilting, sculpture, and more.

“Having people see my artwork is an important part of the art process for me. Each year there is a different group of people who I get a chance to talk to and suggest other artists for them to see!” Rodney Stuart, mixed media artist

Gorge Artists Open Studios Tour invites art lovers to meet artists in their studio spaces — to experience art as work, craft, process, and inspiration. It is a free, self-guided tour of individual artist studios and workspaces located throughout the Mid-Columbia Gorge regional area. Featured studios are dotted on the map in all four mid-Columbia counties: Skamania, Klickitat, Hood River, and Wasco. Take advantage of the three days, April 26 to 28, to visit as many studios as you can. Or, if you have limited time, drop in to a select few new or favorite studios linked together by a stunning drive through this diverse environment.

“Most days for the last five years, I wind my way west along the river to my studio in Carson, WA. Highway 14 is two lanes of asphalt that flows around basalt cliffs much as the river does. The rhythm sets my mood. I arrive ready to create.”
Steve Kowats, metalwork artist

Visiting from out of town? Come for the Gorge Artists Open Studios Tour and stay for the weekend! April is blossom time, so even the ride between studios is a dream. Spring is the time of year when everything emerges once more, including people. Experience the natural beauty of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area while enjoying fantastic local food, wineries, outdoor recreation, shopping, and a great selection of boutique hotels and bed & breakfasts.

We invite you to come experience the Gorge Artists Open Studios Tour. To see what’s in store for this year’s experience, make sure to follow us on social media @gorgeartists or visit our website at www.gorgeartists.org.

ABOUT THE VENUE

About the Fairgrounds
The Wasco County Fairgrounds and W.E. Hunt Park are located in Tygh Valley, Oregon. The fairgrounds are home to the annual Wasco County Fair, which has been held here since 1937 when it was merged with the Southern Wasco County Fair. When not in use for the fair, the park and fairgrounds host a variety of events from the Bluegrass Jamboree in the fall to church camps in the spring.
W.E. Hunt Park
Hunt Park was originally owned by W.E. "Billy" Hunt and family. After his death in 1937, Mrs. Hunt and her children donated the 40 acres to Wasco County to serve as a park. It still bears his name as a memorial.

Johnny Wheels and the Swamp Donkeys deliver a round of "feel good music" for their audience that undeniably connects with a crowd. Johnny is one of a kind. At the age of 12 Johnny was in a tragic accident that left him paralyzed from the chest down. Johnny Wheels is the only frontman/harmonica playing quadriplegic in the world. With unmatched resiliency and a passion never seen before, Johnny and the band are bringin’ bitchin’ back. This band is a sight to behold onstage and when the crowd hears their music, they know it comes straight from the heart. This is truly a band of “brothers” that will give you something that you will never forget. Johnny headlines major festivals in the PNW.
