Holiday Open House - Walk the Art Beat - High Desert Gallery, Redmond, Oregon November 28, 2009

High Desert Gallery in Redmond Oregon will host a special Holiday Open House and Walk the Art Beat on Saturday, November 28, from noon to 5pm. We will be featuring the Plein air Painters of Oregon Annual Show as the kick -off to downtown Redmond's Holiday Season Events. Please join us for a unique opportunity to see plein air paintings by some of the region's best landscape artists.

High Desert Gallery will be hosting the Plein Air Painters of Oregon 2nd Annual Show in our historic gallery space in downtown Redmond, 453 SW 6th Street at Evergreen. The exhibition is a continuation of the show that premiered last month at High Desert Gallery at the Oxford Hotel.

Plein Air Painting is an art form that has become increasingly more popular as artists carry forward the traditions of the early Impressionists. Completed outside and on location, the emphasis is on capturing the immediacy of the landscape and the challenge of painting in changing light and weather conditions. On view will be small format, elegant, and affordable landscape paintings that appeal to art collectors of this highly desirable genre.

The exhibition and sale is ongoing from November 6th through November 30th, showcased in our elegant Redmond Gallery space that still retains the 1914 tin ceiling tiles and high floor-to-ceiling windows. Come join us for this November month long holiday event, titled “Celebration Oregon!” which was juried by Cindy Briggs and selected as an official Oregon 150 sesquincentennial partner.
