The Place That We Call Home by fisherpoet George Wilson
Imogen Gallery (240 11th St, Astoria), February 8 through Monday, March 3
George Wilson brings a new series of his dreamlike watercolors depicting the quiet moments of a life inspired by living at the water's edge. From his homeland in Scotland to Portland, Oregon; places and the wildlife that inhabit them become his muse and inspiration for his soothing compositions, always allowing his chosen medium of watercolor to find its own path of narration.

"Rivals" by Duncan Berry
"Icons of the Sea" Solo Show by Duncan Berry
RiverSea Gallery (1160 Commercial St, Astoria), February 8 through March 4
These one-of-a-kind prints are direct impressions taken from sea creatures and foliage.
"I am incredibly blessed to live in the United Nations Biosphere Reserve at Cascade Head on the central Oregon Coast, which is one of the most beautiful places in the world. This is "life on the wild edge of a continent” where 3500 miles of the North American land mass meets 5000 miles of open ocean. The land, sea and air of this place acts as a muse, sanctuary and teacher for me. My work is to channel the beauty and power of this place, and to show what is possible when we care for the last great places."

Beneath the Surface — A Fishing Community
Astoria Visual Arts (AVA, 1000 Duane St), February 8 through March 2
For much of Astoria’s history, fishing wasn’t just a way of life—it was the heart of the community. To honor this legacy and the enduring resiliency of the salmon, (AVA) welcomes artists who create fish-inspired work to come together for Beneath the Surface – A Fishing Community.
Now in its fifth year, this annual exhibit, presented in conjunction with the FisherPoets Gathering, highlights the talents of Pacific Northwest artists working in a variety of media. The exhibition pays tribute to Astoria’s rich commercial fishing heritage, with a spotlight on the salmon. These remarkable fish, whose annual migration up the Columbia River symbolize strength, perseverance, and cultural significance, remain a vital part of the region’s identity—even as their populations face challenges.
