Every year, a few auction packages generate a lot of buzz before the bidding even begins. This year, The Fisherman's Dream is sure to be one of them.

Created for those who love the rivers, wildlife, and outdoor traditions of the Pacific Northwest, this unforgettable package includes a full-day guided fishing trip for two on the legendary Klickitat River, generously donated by Skookum Outfitters. Whether you're an experienced angler or simply looking for a memorable day on the water, this is an opportunity to experience one of the Gorge's most treasured landscapes from a whole new perspective.

The adventure is paired with two beautiful works of art celebrating river life: an original watercolor by D. Tennesen and a handcrafted ceramic bowl featuring fish details. Together, these pieces capture the beauty, movement, and spirit of the waters that have shaped our region for generations.

For anglers, outdoor enthusiasts, and collectors alike, this is a package that truly embodies the heart of the Gorge.

Join us at Havana Nights on June 13 and see why this is one of the most anticipated packages in this year's auction lineup. Tickets are selling fast. Get yours now at:

We're kicking off the live auction this Saturday with a package that celebrates one of the cornerstones of life in the Columbia Gorge: agriculture.

Cattle Country, generously donated by Mary Rollins and Sandoz Farm, pairs a gift card for locally raised farm products with two stunning giclée prints by renowned local artist Mary Rollins. Known for her beautiful watercolor portrayals of animals and the natural world, Rollins captures the character, strength, and beauty of cattle in a way that feels both timeless and deeply connected to our region.

This is a fun and exciting package to open the live auction and a perfect tribute to the hardworking ranching families who help sustain our agricultural heritage.

And it's only the beginning. Whether you're looking for a weekend getaway, unique experiences, local food and drink, original artwork, or something completely unexpected, this year's auction lineup has something for everyone at every price point.

We'll also have beautiful artwork available through raffle drawings and a wide variety of silent auction baskets overflowing with local artisan products, experiences, and gifts.

Summer Art Camp is almost here, and we are getting ready for another season of creativity, exploration, and hands-on art experiences for local youth!

We are currently seeking donations of supplies through our Amazon Wish List to help support this year’s camps. The list includes art materials, classroom supplies, and everyday items that help make camp fun, welcoming, and accessible for our students.

Every donated item directly supports children participating in our summer programming and helps us continue providing meaningful arts experiences for youth across our community.

We are also seeking volunteers to help during Summer Art Camps. Volunteers assist with projects, classroom activities, organization, and helping create a positive and supportive environment for campers. If you are interested in volunteering, please reach out to [email protected].

If you would like to help, please consider purchasing an item from our wish list and sharing this post with others who may want to support the arts. Thank you for helping us make Summer Art Camp possible!
