About Pacific Northwest Plein Air

In the Columbia River Gorge

A Paradise for Painters and Writers

The Pacific Northwest, and in particular, the area in and around the Columbia River Gorge, is Plein Air Painter Paradise. It's no surprise that each year at this time, artists and writers gather here to take in the stunning beauty of its black basalt cliffs, ribbon-like waterfalls, and lush fir forests.

The town of Hood River itself is nestled along the Columbia River, and sits between the two snow capped volcanoes Mt. Hood and Mt. Adams ... making it not only an ideal, but also inspirational, host town for guest artists.

A National Scenic Area, on Par with the Bavarian Alps!

Notably, in November 1986, Congress recognized the unique beauty of the Columbia River Gorge when it made it the nation's first National Scenic Area.

In addtion, In 2009, in its sixth annual survey of "Destination Stewardship," National Geographic rated Hood River as one of the top ten scenic areas in the world, on a par with the Bavarian Alps!
