A BEAUTIFUL COLLABORATION

301 Gallery and Friends of the Columbia Gorge are pleased to announce their third annual combined exhibition: INSPIRED! III – Trailblazers. In celebration of the 40th Anniversary of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, Trailblazers aims to honor the trails and scenic views, and the conservation work that shape our connection to this landscape to ensure its protection for generations to come. 

This year, selected regional artists hit the trails throughout the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area to discover and take inspiration from what stops them in their tracks — whether it’s the pathway onward, or vistas, flora, and fauna found along the way. The artworks will be available for viewing through the months of June and July, 2026.
