Exhibits & Workshops

Every Thursday at 10 a.m., a group of artists meets at the Episcopal Church on Moore Street in Gold Beach for figure drawing.

A live model is hired for each session, holding the same pose for five 20 minute poses (with 10 minute breaks) giving artists the opportunity to create a finished piece.

Participants may use any media (odorless oil paints and markers, please); currently, most artists are painting in watercolor or drawing.

Tables and chairs are provided by the church; you may bring your own easel.

A small fee is charged — usually from $10 to $15, depends on the number of participants — to cover the cost of the model.

Artists are asked to arrive at 10 a.m. in order to be set up and ready to work by the time the model arrives at 10:30 a.m.

Learn to Draw Faces: A Step-by-Step Approach to Success

A BIG success!

Pat Renner’s Drawing Faces workshop was a BIG hit, with over 20 participants of all ages and skill levels attending the workshop on September 14.

A special moment came when Maureen Wellborn presented Pat with flowers to commemorate her 40+ year span of teaching and learning.  Maureen took an art class from Pat in 1978 and was back to take another class from her at this workshop.

Maureen gave a nice speech thanking Pat and sharing with everyone Pat’s incredible contribution to the Gold Beach arts community in Gold Beach over the years.

Many thanks to Pat Renner for putting on this workshop and her contribution to the local arts community!

Gold Beach Art Enthusiasts will be hosting a Rainbow Catcher art workshop on Saturday, August 24, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Gold Beach High School Library (enter through front doors of school).

Join local artist Darla Barton for this fun and relaxing event and take home a beautiful rainbow catcher! Darla will provide all instruction and supplies including real crystals and charms. The finished Rainbow Catchers will measure up to 16” in length and will be ready to hang. Darla will guide us in choosing patterns and colors while showing us lots of creative possibilities.

No previous art experience necessary but we are asking that participants be aged 10 and up.

A $20 materials fee will be collected at the door for this workshop. Bring a smile and a snack and join us!

The Festival of Art in Stout Park will be happening August 3 from 10am to 5pm and August 4 from 10am to 4pm.

Over 70 artists and vendors will be participating.

Gold Beach Art Enthusiasts will be hosting a free art workshop on Saturday, April 13, 2019 at the Gold Beach High School art room beginning at 10:00am. The theme will be Water!

Join us for a relaxing and inspiring art event in Gold Beach, Oregon.

This will be an informal time to share and create art with the theme: water. Please bring supplies to make art with us.

You are invited to bring any artwork you have which could fall within the theme of “water” (ie: watercolor paintings, art with the subject of water, etc) and we’d love to see how you’ve captured or used this beautiful and somewhat elusive element in your own work. You need not share your work to attend.

This is a free community art workshop. All ages and artistic abilities are welcome.  Some supplies may be available for sharing and we’ll focus the most of our time on simply working on our own art together.
