Camas Winter Art Show First Friday Event.
The Downtown Camas Association is welcoming the new year with a juried art exhibit opening on January 7th, the First Friday of 2011. The theme of the Camas Winter Art show is Celebrate Camas, and includes works that highlight the City’s natural setting, rich history and interesting architecture.
Downtown Merchants will showcase the talents of local artists from 5-8pm and the artists will be on hand to discuss their work and their inspiration. “This is a great opportunity to celebrate what makes Camas so unique while highlighting all the local talent we have in the area. I can see no better way to start a new year in Downtown Camas.” said Downtown Camas Association Vice President Carrie Schulstad.
The Camas Winter Art Show will feature guest judges and offer the community a chance to vote for their favorite works. Vote at any participating merchant and be entered to win winter themed gifts from local merchants. Subjects for the Camas Winter Art Show will include local nature, the gorge and the Cascade Mountains, historic Downtown Camas, Camas lilies, agriculture, wildlife, Native American culture, and a wide variety of outdoor recreational activities.
Can’t make it on Friday? Works will be on display throughout Downtown Camas until January 31st. Themed First Friday events happen every month of the year. Local merchants keep their doors open late and often welcome guests with special offers.
