Roots of Wisdom:  Native Knowledge.  Shared Science.  

Explore how Native peoples join their traditional knowledge with cutting-edge Western science to save cultural practices and local environments.  Local ecosystems around the world face serious environmental challenges.  Many Native communities have found innovative solutions by combining traditional knowledge with modern science.  Roots of Wisdom:  Native Knowledge.  Shared Science features stories of ecological and cultural restoration from the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, Tulalip Tribes, Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, and Native Hawaiians.  

The exhibition is the result of a collaboration among the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, Indigenous Education Institute, the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian, Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, and four Native Community partners.  The communities generously share their restoration stories and their voices throughout the exhibition.  

Roots of Wisdom:  Native Knowledge   Shared Science, was developed, produced, and circulated by the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, and the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian.  The exhibition was made possible with funds provided by the National Science Foundation.

Join us in for a virtual conversation with Dr. Marcia Chatelain as she discusses her Pulitzer prize-winning book, Franchise: The Golden Arches in Black America. 
Dr. Marcia Chatelain set out to answer the question of how fast-food restaurants so thoroughly saturate black neighborhoods. McDonald’s has often been blamed for the rising rates of obesity and diabetes among black Americans. In Franchise, Chatelain uncovers a surprising history of cooperation among fast-food companies, black capitalists, and civil rights leaders, who–in the troubled years after King’s assassination–believed they found an economic answer to the problem of racial inequality.
About the author: Dr. Marcia Chatelain is a Professor of History and African American Studies at Georgetown University. She is also the author of South Side Girls: Growing up in the Great Migration. In 2021, Chatelain received the Pulitzer Prize in History, the Hagley Prize in Business History, and the Organization of American Historians (OAH) Lawrence W. Levine Award for Franchise. An active public speaker and educational consultant, Chatelain has received awards and honors from the Ford Foundation, the American Association of University Women, and the German Marshall Fund of the United States. In 2016, the Chronicle of Higher Education named her a Top Influencer in academia in recognition of her social media campaign #FergusonSyllabus, which implored educators to facilitate discussions about the crisis in Ferguson, Missouri in 2014.

Developed by Curator of Education at Maryhill Museum of Art, Louise Palermo, The Exquisite Gorge Project II: Fiber Arts features 13 regional fiber artists working with communities along 220 miles of the Columbia River from the Willamette Confluence to the Snake River Confluence.

Artistic Director for the project is artist Tammy Jo Wilson. 

Each artist will design an original artwork collaborating with a Community Partner and community members from their assigned stretch of river.  Artists will create unique installations, sculpture, and innovative designs attached to that specific site, and engage with educational opportunities to inspire and educate about fiber arts.  There will be resources developed, including maps and guides to encourage visitation to each site.  Each artwork will portray a section of the river itself and will connect to the next section. 

The project is inspired by the Surrealist art practice "Exquisite Corpse," where participants took turns drawing sections of a body on a piece of paper folded to hide each succession contribution.  When unfolded, a whole body was revealed to show each contribution.

In the case of The Exquisite Gorge Project II, the Columbia River will become the "body" that unifies the collaboration between artists and communities, revealing a 66-foot work that tells 10 conceptual stories (plus a frontispiece) of the Columbia River and its people. 

A culminating Festival of Fiber Arts will be held Saturday, August 6, 2022 at Maryhill Museum of Art, where each free-standing "exquisite corpse" section will be brought together to reveal the continuous sculpture.

Bargeway Pub and Catering presents the BB Lake Band which began as a vision inspired by Bob Marley's famous words:  "Let's get together and feel alright."  This group emerged as a gang of talented, ragtag misfits who all shared one thing in common:  the love of performing inspired music.  Since their genesis, BB LAKE BAND, has been making an impression on Pacific Northwest's Columbia Gorge neighborhood, and step by step, is getting people together in a way that feels right.

The Granada Theatre presents "Playball Rag - An Afterlife Baseball Musical Reckoning"

World Premier Granada Theatre August 6, 2022  Doors open at 6:00 - Show at 7:00

This is a One Man Musical Extravaganza of Epic Proportions

In the Afterlife Baseball Stadium known as Purgatory Park, we are graced with the appearance of a handful of our nation's honored martyrs including John F. Kennedy, Geronimo, and Nicola Tesla who are being confronted by Babe Ruth's scathing criticism of our current world conundrum. Inspired by Babe's words we watch as our heroes gather to readdress their own lives and seek to challenge the dark mindset of the world with a vision of generosity, freedom and enjoyment. 
So off we go to the Old World Stadium of the Frozen Giants down in Antarctica, to play Ball and retrieve our humanity in a game to end all games.

Roots of Wisdom:  Native Knowledge.  Shared Science.  

Explore how Native peoples join their traditional knowledge with cutting-edge Western science to save cultural practices and local environments.  Local ecosystems around the world face serious environmental challenges.  Many Native communities have found innovative solutions by combining traditional knowledge with modern science.  Roots of Wisdom:  Native Knowledge.  Shared Science features stories of ecological and cultural restoration from the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, Tulalip Tribes, Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, and Native Hawaiians.  

The exhibition is the result of a collaboration among the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, Indigenous Education Institute, the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian, Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, and four Native Community partners.  The communities generously share their restoration stories and their voices throughout the exhibition.  

Roots of Wisdom:  Native Knowledge   Shared Science, was developed, produced, and circulated by the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, and the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian.  The exhibition was made possible with funds provided by the National Science Foundation.

Developed by Curator of Education at Maryhill Museum of Art, Louise Palermo, The Exquisite Gorge Project II: Fiber Arts features 13 regional fiber artists working with communities along 220 miles of the Columbia River from the Willamette Confluence to the Snake River Confluence.

Artistic Director for the project is artist Tammy Jo Wilson. 

Each artist will design an original artwork collaborating with a Community Partner and community members from their assigned stretch of river.  Artists will create unique installations, sculpture, and innovative designs attached to that specific site, and engage with educational opportunities to inspire and educate about fiber arts.  There will be resources developed, including maps and guides to encourage visitation to each site.  Each artwork will portray a section of the river itself and will connect to the next section. 

The project is inspired by the Surrealist art practice "Exquisite Corpse," where participants took turns drawing sections of a body on a piece of paper folded to hide each succession contribution.  When unfolded, a whole body was revealed to show each contribution.

In the case of The Exquisite Gorge Project II, the Columbia River will become the "body" that unifies the collaboration between artists and communities, revealing a 66-foot work that tells 10 conceptual stories (plus a frontispiece) of the Columbia River and its people. 

A culminating Festival of Fiber Arts will be held Saturday, August 6, 2022 at Maryhill Museum of Art, where each free-standing "exquisite corpse" section will be brought together to reveal the continuous sculpture.  

The undulating finished piece -- a fiber interpretation of the Columbia River and the communities along a 220-mile stretch -- is on view at the museum through September 10, 2022.

Join us for an evening online with New York Times Bestselling author Liz Moore as she discusses her international bestseller, Long Bright River, and her other works. 
The novel takes place in Philadelphia, where Moore has lived for a decade. She traces the story of two sisters estranged from each other but bonded by their choices. Mickey is a cop, and Kacey lives on the streets in the vice of addiction. When Kacey disappears, Mickey panics over her sister’s safety—obsessed with finding the culprit and her sister before it’s too late.
Drawing on deeply personal volunteer work, Liz Moore spins a story that is both graphically honest and dignified. Long Bright River puts a very human face on the effect that addiction can have on generations of families and communities. 
About the Author: Liz Moore is the author of four novels, a winner of the 2014 Rome Prize in Literature, and she teaches in the MFA program in Creative Writing at Temple University.

Columbia Gorge Discovery Center & Museum presents BIRDS & BREWS

Special Exhibition Opening Reception for "Avis Marvelous:  Ornithology on the Western Frontier" 
August 11th from 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Meet & Greet our Raptors

Birds & Brews, a 21+ after-hours event, on August 11th from 6:30pm to 9pm at the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center.  The event includes a special exhibition opening reception for our newest temporary exhibition, Avis Marvelous:  Ornithology on the Western Frontier, 1776-1896, a collection of vintage engravings that illustrates the North American birds of the Trans-Mississippi frontier West (including Alaska), as portrayed by wildlife artists of note. 
Guests will enjoy after-hours access to the museum's exhibitions, and a meet and greet with one or more of our resident raptors.  Raptor educators from the Discovery Center and the Freebridge Brewing team will be answering any questions you have about birds or beer in a relaxed social setting.  Must be 21+ to purchase tickets and attend.  Beer from Freebridge Brewing will be for sale.  Food will be for sale while supplies last.  Wine will also be available for purchase. 
This collection of vintage engravings illustrates the North American birds of the Trans-Mississippi frontier West (including Alaska), as portrayed by wildlife artists of note.  The exhibit is partially a derivative of advancing 19th-century governmental survey parties which were instructed to document natural history features of these mostly unknown territories.  Also the exhibit features artworks created by artists and publishers seeking to capitalize upon the growing worldwide interest in American ornithology.  These talented bird artists include John James Audubon, Daniel Giraud Elliot, Joseph Wolf, and Titian Ramsey Peale.  This beautiful avian imagery is complemented by historical commentary, species traits, and information on current bird status.  The prints are framed in handcrafted Butternut molding.

Developed by Curator of Education at Maryhill Museum of Art, Louise Palermo, The Exquisite Gorge Project II: Fiber Arts features 13 regional fiber artists working with communities along 220 miles of the Columbia River from the Willamette Confluence to the Snake River Confluence.

Artistic Director for the project is artist Tammy Jo Wilson. 

Each artist will design an original artwork collaborating with a Community Partner and community members from their assigned stretch of river.  Artists will create unique installations, sculpture, and innovative designs attached to that specific site, and engage with educational opportunities to inspire and educate about fiber arts.  There will be resources developed, including maps and guides to encourage visitation to each site.  Each artwork will portray a section of the river itself and will connect to the next section. 

The project is inspired by the Surrealist art practice "Exquisite Corpse," where participants took turns drawing sections of a body on a piece of paper folded to hide each succession contribution.  When unfolded, a whole body was revealed to show each contribution.

In the case of The Exquisite Gorge Project II, the Columbia River will become the "body" that unifies the collaboration between artists and communities, revealing a 66-foot work that tells 10 conceptual stories (plus a frontispiece) of the Columbia River and its people. 

A culminating Festival of Fiber Arts will be held Saturday, August 6, 2022 at Maryhill Museum of Art, where each free-standing "exquisite corpse" section will be brought together to reveal the continuous sculpture.  

The undulating finished piece -- a fiber interpretation of the Columbia River and the communities along a 220-mile stretch -- is on view at the museum through September 10, 2022.

Roots of Wisdom:  Native Knowledge.  Shared Science.  

Explore how Native peoples join their traditional knowledge with cutting-edge Western science to save cultural practices and local environments.  Local ecosystems around the world face serious environmental challenges.  Many Native communities have found innovative solutions by combining traditional knowledge with modern science.  Roots of Wisdom:  Native Knowledge.  Shared Science features stories of ecological and cultural restoration from the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, Tulalip Tribes, Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, and Native Hawaiians.

Developed by Curator of Education at Maryhill Museum of Art, Louise Palermo, The Exquisite Gorge Project II: Fiber Arts features 13 regional fiber artists working with communities along 220 miles of the Columbia River from the Willamette Confluence to the Snake River Confluence.

Artistic Director for the project is artist Tammy Jo Wilson. 

Each artist will design an original artwork collaborating with a Community Partner and community members from their assigned stretch of river.  Artists will create unique installations, sculpture, and innovative designs attached to that specific site, and engage with educational opportunities to inspire and educate about fiber arts.  There will be resources developed, including maps and guides to encourage visitation to each site.  Each artwork will portray a section of the river itself and will connect to the next section. 

The project is inspired by the Surrealist art practice "Exquisite Corpse," where participants took turns drawing sections of a body on a piece of paper folded to hide each succession contribution.  When unfolded, a whole body was revealed to show each contribution.

In the case of The Exquisite Gorge Project II, the Columbia River will become the "body" that unifies the collaboration between artists and communities, revealing a 66-foot work that tells 10 conceptual stories (plus a frontispiece) of the Columbia River and its people. 

A culminating Festival of Fiber Arts will be held Saturday, August 6, 2022 at Maryhill Museum of Art, where each free-standing "exquisite corpse" section will be brought together to reveal the continuous sculpture.  

The undulating finished piece -- a fiber interpretation of the Columbia River and the communities along a 220-mile stretch -- is on view at the museum through September 10, 2022.

Developed by Curator of Education at Maryhill Museum of Art, Louise Palermo, The Exquisite Gorge Project II: Fiber Arts features 13 regional fiber artists working with communities along 220 miles of the Columbia River from the Willamette Confluence to the Snake River Confluence.

Artistic Director for the project is artist Tammy Jo Wilson. 

Each artist will design an original artwork collaborating with a Community Partner and community members from their assigned stretch of river.  Artists will create unique installations, sculpture, and innovative designs attached to that specific site, and engage with educational opportunities to inspire and educate about fiber arts.  There will be resources developed, including maps and guides to encourage visitation to each site.  Each artwork will portray a section of the river itself and will connect to the next section. 

The project is inspired by the Surrealist art practice "Exquisite Corpse," where participants took turns drawing sections of a body on a piece of paper folded to hide each succession contribution.  When unfolded, a whole body was revealed to show each contribution.

In the case of The Exquisite Gorge Project II, the Columbia River will become the "body" that unifies the collaboration between artists and communities, revealing a 66-foot work that tells 10 conceptual stories (plus a frontispiece) of the Columbia River and its people. 

A culminating Festival of Fiber Arts will be held Saturday, August 6, 2022 at Maryhill Museum of Art, where each free-standing "exquisite corpse" section will be brought together to reveal the continuous sculpture.

Roots of Wisdom:  Native Knowledge.  Shared Science.  

Explore how Native peoples join their traditional knowledge with cutting-edge Western science to save cultural practices and local environments.  Local ecosystems around the world face serious environmental challenges.  Many Native communities have found innovative solutions by combining traditional knowledge with modern science.  Roots of Wisdom:  Native Knowledge.  Shared Science features stories of ecological and cultural restoration from the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, Tulalip Tribes, Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, and Native Hawaiians.  

The exhibition is the result of a collaboration among the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, Indigenous Education Institute, the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian, Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, and four Native Community partners.  The communities generously share their restoration stories and their voices throughout the exhibition.  

Roots of Wisdom:  Native Knowledge   Shared Science, was developed, produced, and circulated by the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, and the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian.  The exhibition was made possible with funds provided by the National Science Foundation.

Developed by Curator of Education at Maryhill Museum of Art, Louise Palermo, The Exquisite Gorge Project II: Fiber Arts features 13 regional fiber artists working with communities along 220 miles of the Columbia River from the Willamette Confluence to the Snake River Confluence.

Artistic Director for the project is artist Tammy Jo Wilson. 

Each artist will design an original artwork collaborating with a Community Partner and community members from their assigned stretch of river.  Artists will create unique installations, sculpture, and innovative designs attached to that specific site, and engage with educational opportunities to inspire and educate about fiber arts.  There will be resources developed, including maps and guides to encourage visitation to each site.  Each artwork will portray a section of the river itself and will connect to the next section. 

The project is inspired by the Surrealist art practice "Exquisite Corpse," where participants took turns drawing sections of a body on a piece of paper folded to hide each succession contribution.  When unfolded, a whole body was revealed to show each contribution.

In the case of The Exquisite Gorge Project II, the Columbia River will become the "body" that unifies the collaboration between artists and communities, revealing a 66-foot work that tells 10 conceptual stories (plus a frontispiece) of the Columbia River and its people.

Michele Harper is a female African American emergency room physician in an overwhelmingly male and white profession. Brought up in Washington, D.C., in a complicated family, she went to Harvard, where she met her husband. They stayed together through medical school until two months before she was scheduled to join the staff of a hospital in central Philadelphia when he told her he couldn’t move with her. Her marriage at an end, Harper, began her new life in a new city, in a new job, as a newly single woman.
As Harper learned to become an effective ER physician in the ensuing years, bringing insight and empathy to every patient encounter, she understood that each of us is broken—physically and emotionally. How we recognize those breaks, how we try to mend them, and where we go from there are all crucial parts of the healing process.
This author talk with Michele Harper will cover many of the lessons she’s learned on her inspiring personal journey and the success of her New York Times bestselling memoir, The Beauty in Breaking.
About the author: Michele Harper has worked as an emergency room physician for more than a decade at various institutions, including chief resident at Lincoln Hospital in the South Bronx and in the emergency department at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Philadelphia. She is a graduate of Harvard University and the Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University.

The Northwest MuralFest is a five-day mural painting event held in The Dalles, OR, planned for August of 2022.  During the festival, 15 new historical murals will be created in the downtown area. 

Residents, volunteers and the business community are working on the festival creation in collaboration with the Walldogs, a group of mural painters that has come together in different towns all over the USA since 1993 to paint historical murals. 

The Northwest MuralFest will draw local residents and national visitors to our community, and help promote The Dalles as an art destination.  Along with the mural creations, we anticipate other contributors such as food, crafts and music vendors. 

The NW muralfest is for the whole family.  We are planning on a family mural designed by a local artist.  Artists of all ages from tykes to grandparents will be welcomed to work on the family mural.

Roots of Wisdom:  Native Knowledge.  Shared Science.  

Explore how Native peoples join their traditional knowledge with cutting-edge Western science to save cultural practices and local environments.  Local ecosystems around the world face serious environmental challenges.  Many Native communities have found innovative solutions by combining traditional knowledge with modern science.  Roots of Wisdom:  Native Knowledge.  Shared Science features stories of ecological and cultural restoration from the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, Tulalip Tribes, Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, and Native Hawaiians.  

The exhibition is the result of a collaboration among the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, Indigenous Education Institute, the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian, Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, and four Native Community partners.  The communities generously share their restoration stories and their voices throughout the exhibition.  

Roots of Wisdom:  Native Knowledge   Shared Science, was developed, produced, and circulated by the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, and the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian.  The exhibition was made possible with funds provided by the National Science Foundation.

Developed by Curator of Education at Maryhill Museum of Art, Louise Palermo, The Exquisite Gorge Project II: Fiber Arts features 13 regional fiber artists working with communities along 220 miles of the Columbia River from the Willamette Confluence to the Snake River Confluence.

Artistic Director for the project is artist Tammy Jo Wilson. 

Each artist will design an original artwork collaborating with a Community Partner and community members from their assigned stretch of river.  Artists will create unique installations, sculpture, and innovative designs attached to that specific site, and engage with educational opportunities to inspire and educate about fiber arts.  There will be resources developed, including maps and guides to encourage visitation to each site.  Each artwork will portray a section of the river itself and will connect to the next section. 

The project is inspired by the Surrealist art practice "Exquisite Corpse," where participants took turns drawing sections of a body on a piece of paper folded to hide each succession contribution.  When unfolded, a whole body was revealed to show each contribution.

In the case of The Exquisite Gorge Project II, the Columbia River will become the "body" that unifies the collaboration between artists and communities, revealing a 66-foot work that tells 10 conceptual stories (plus a frontispiece) of the Columbia River and its people. 

A culminating Festival of Fiber Arts will be held Saturday, August 6, 2022 at Maryhill Museum of Art, where each free-standing "exquisite corpse" section will be brought together to reveal the continuous sculpture.  

The undulating finished piece -- a fiber interpretation of the Columbia River and the communities along a 220-mile stretch -- is on view at the museum through September 10, 2022.

Join us as we sit down in conversation with Liz Wiseman, New York Times Best Selling author, researcher, and executive adviser. Liz will talk about her latest book, Impact Players: How to Take the Lead, Play Bigger and Multiply Your Impact, and her other work.

In Impact Players, Liz asks the question, why do some people break through and make an impact while others get stuck going through the motions? In every organization, impact players are indispensable colleagues who can be counted on in critical situations and consistently receive high-profile assignments and new opportunities. Managers know who these top players are, understand their worth, and want more of them on their team, whether on center stage or behind the scenes. 

Wiseman reveals the secrets of these stellar professionals who play the game at a higher level. Drawing on insights from leaders at top companies, Wiseman explains what the most influential players are doing differently, how small and seemingly insignificant differences in how we think and act can make an enormous impact, and why-- with a little coaching--this mindset is available to everyone who wants to contribute at their highest level and do more meaningful work.  

About the author:  Liz Wiseman is a researcher and executive advisor who teaches leadership to executives worldwide. She is the author of the New York Times bestseller Multipliers:  How the Best Leaders Make Everyone SmarterThe Multiplier Effect:  Tapping the Genius Inside Our Schools, Wall Street Journal bestseller Rookie Smarts:  Why Learning Beats Knowing in the New Game of Work, and Wall Street Journal bestseller Impact Players: How to Take the Lead, Play Bigger, and Multiply Your Impact. She is the CEO of the Wiseman Group, a leadership research and development firm headquartered in Silicon Valley, California.

The Northwest MuralFest is a five-day mural painting event held in The Dalles, OR, planned for August of 2022.  During the festival, 15 new historical murals will be created in the downtown area. 

Residents, volunteers and the business community are working on the festival creation in collaboration with the Walldogs, a group of mural painters that has come together in different towns all over the USA since 1993 to paint historical murals. 

The Northwest MuralFest will draw local residents and national visitors to our community, and help promote The Dalles as an art destination.  Along with the mural creations, we anticipate other contributors such as food, crafts and music vendors. 

The NW muralfest is for the whole family.  We are planning on a family mural designed by a local artist.  Artists of all ages from tykes to grandparents will be welcomed to work on the family mural.

Roots of Wisdom:  Native Knowledge.  Shared Science.  

Explore how Native peoples join their traditional knowledge with cutting-edge Western science to save cultural practices and local environments.  Local ecosystems around the world face serious environmental challenges.  Many Native communities have found innovative solutions by combining traditional knowledge with modern science.  Roots of Wisdom:  Native Knowledge.  Shared Science features stories of ecological and cultural restoration from the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, Tulalip Tribes, Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, and Native Hawaiians.  

The exhibition is the result of a collaboration among the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, Indigenous Education Institute, the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian, Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, and four Native Community partners.  The communities generously share their restoration stories and their voices throughout the exhibition.  

Roots of Wisdom:  Native Knowledge   Shared Science, was developed, produced, and circulated by the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, and the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian.  The exhibition was made possible with funds provided by the National Science Foundation.

Developed by Curator of Education at Maryhill Museum of Art, Louise Palermo, The Exquisite Gorge Project II: Fiber Arts features 13 regional fiber artists working with communities along 220 miles of the Columbia River from the Willamette Confluence to the Snake River Confluence.

Artistic Director for the project is artist Tammy Jo Wilson. 

Each artist will design an original artwork collaborating with a Community Partner and community members from their assigned stretch of river.  Artists will create unique installations, sculpture, and innovative designs attached to that specific site, and engage with educational opportunities to inspire and educate about fiber arts.  There will be resources developed, including maps and guides to encourage visitation to each site.  Each artwork will portray a section of the river itself and will connect to the next section. 

The project is inspired by the Surrealist art practice "Exquisite Corpse," where participants took turns drawing sections of a body on a piece of paper folded to hide each succession contribution.  When unfolded, a whole body was revealed to show each contribution.

In the case of The Exquisite Gorge Project II, the Columbia River will become the "body" that unifies the collaboration between artists and communities, revealing a 66-foot work that tells 10 conceptual stories (plus a frontispiece) of the Columbia River and its people. 

A culminating Festival of Fiber Arts will be held Saturday, August 6, 2022 at Maryhill Museum of Art, where each free-standing "exquisite corpse" section will be brought together to reveal the continuous sculpture.  

The undulating finished piece -- a fiber interpretation of the Columbia River and the communities along a 220-mile stretch -- is on view at the museum through September 10, 2022.
