Just what goes into putting on an art exhibition at a gallery?

Let’s say you’ve decided to redecorate your house. You rearrange the furniture; you take down the pictures on the wall, patch and paint the holes, and replace them with new ones; you decide to move all the dishes somewhere else and install a shelf for all those knick-knacks. The place looks so great you decide to hold an open house, invite everyone in town, and provide wine DQG Âż QJHU IRRG Sounds unlikely – but if you do that every month, you might as well open an art gallery. There are two kinds of art galleries. One is a kind of store for art: These shops carry an inventory of certain artists and restock when necessary. The other is an exhibition gallery that has a different show every month, and it often brings in artists who don’t regularly exhibit in the area. One such gallery is RiverSea Gallery in Astoria. Owner Jeannine Grafton doesn’t see the gallery as a house to be rearranged, so much as a play to be staged, with dress rehearsal the day before the show opens. “We present both individual and themed group shows monthly,â€? Grafton explains. “Our focus is art from the Northwest, and we show emerging artists alongside those who have national recognition.â€? This focus “is an expression of my vision. I’m also the producer and director, and I have to stay on top of the administrative details.â€? That means that Grafton is

sometimes a stagehand or a gofer, even if there are four other people working to get everything ready before the opening. Those four people patch and paint the walls, hang paintings, move displays behind temporary curtains that hide much of the activity – and they do this while keeping the gallery open and helping visitors. After the show is over, it will be time to pack and ship the artwork that has sold. A 50-hour week is not unusual for Grafton, and much of her time is spent doing everything any small business owner does, from merchandising to advertising. She also designs the promotional pieces for every show and manages her website, which includes formatting and uploading scores of pictures of the art on exhibit. Grafton articulates the simple goal of RiverSea: “to connect people with art.� Allyn Cantor, director of White Bird Gallery in Cannon Beach, agrees. She sees her role as “a bridge, fostering a relationship with artists and with clients.� “Organizing and hanging the exhibits are the two major jobs,� Cantor says, “and there’s plenty to do.� Deciding on themes or artists for shows, and then hanging each show and arranging the gallery to “make things look good together� is top priority “because people want things for their homes.� During most of the year, White Bird’s customers are regional, many coming from Portland and Seattle. But during the summer, with all the Cannon Beach events and festivals, tourists arrive from all over the map. “I’ve noticed that when people come to the festivals,� Cantor observes, “they come to see the artists.� Thus getting artists and visitors together becomes part of the job.

Then there is the matter of deciding which artists to represent, and she is always willing to look at an artist’s work. “You have to take in new artists,â€? she observes, “or your regulars get bored.â€? Of course, not everyone gets in. If 50 artists submit work for consideration, Cantor must decide which Âż YH RU ZLOO Âż W LQWR WKH gallery. This often means deciding who “is an amateur versus a potential professionalâ€? and sometimes “treading lightly to avoid offending artistic sensibilities.â€? Cantor’s own aesthetic sense plays a role in which art she shows, but “I don’t take just what I like. I try to look at the big picture.â€? Next time you visit an art gallery and Âż QG \RXUVHOI WKLQNLQJ Âł:KDW D ZRQGHUIXO job to have, surrounded by art, just waiting for people to come in, admire and buy,â€? remember a few realities. Think “50-hour week,â€? or “artistic sensibilities,â€? or “upload scores of pictures.â€? Still, neither Cantor nor Grafton would trade their jobs for another. “It’s fun, exciting and challenging, and you meet the most wonderful people,â€? Grafton declares. “It’s something you have to absolutely be devoted to. I feel that I’m doing what I was meant to do.â€?

‘Organizing and hanging the exhibits are the two major jobs, and there’s plenty to do.’

Allyn Cantor, director of White Bird Gallery, arranges the gallery prior to a show so clients can imagine the work in their homes.

Barnes explains. “The main thing I use to get my ideas across has been the banjo. It has an unusual sound and is capable of a wide range of expression.

dub music from the ’70s. I bought those records when they were new, thus starting a lifelong obsession of buying records.â€?

Pig ’N Pancake

Comfortable family dining with a multitude of tasty choices In 1961, with little at their disposal apart from a few dollars and good, old-fashioned elbow grease, Bob and Marianne Poole opened the original Pig ’N Pancake in Seaside.

Lots of them. Enough said. I really had only one quibble with my dining experience, and it has to do with a side salad. Wanting to sample some lunch items in addition to breakfast items, I ordered a traditional clubhouse sandwich of turkey, bacon, lettuce and tomato, which was quite good.

Old-time loggers to reunite on Saturday Annual meeting to honor Ed Wirkkala, Martin Nygaard

NASELLE, Wash. — Loggers, truck drivers and operators will gather once again from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 25 at the Appelo Archives Center to celebrate the Center’s fourth annual Old-Time Loggers Reunion. Coffee and refreshments will be provided, and the Archive Café will be open for lunch. Held annually, the reunion is intended to bring together timber industry workers of all ages and their families as well as other community members who want to honor the industry’s signi¿cance in the region. As is its tradition, the Appelo Archives Center will honor two locals, Ed Wirkkala and Martin Nygaard. Each has a long history of working in the woods, so it is with great pride that they are honored this year. Nygaard grew up working on the Skipanon River log boom owned by his father and uncle. He busied himself on the boom through his college years. In 1958, he began logging for himself, and in the mid-1960s, after the completion of the Astoria Bridge, he

began working on the north shore. In the mid-1970s, Nygaard sold his equipment to Dant and Russell, became the logging manager and was on the board of directors. When Dant and Russell went broke in the early 1980s, he purchased the equipment back and resumed logging on his own. In the meantime, Nygaard’s sons, David and John, had started Nygaard Brothers Logging. In 1989, the family consolidated its holdings and formed Warrenton Fiber Company and set to work on an expansive sorting yard and log chipping facility in Warrenton, along with their logging and road building operations. Wirkkala went to work for Brix Logging one week before graduating high school in 1942. The next year, he went into the service and was in Europe for three years. When Wirkkala came home, he worked for Wirkkala Brothers Logging in Grays River, Wash., on the cutting crew. Wirkkala Brothers Logging logged in Naselle, Wash., Deep River, Wash.,

In 1966, he went back to Weyerhaeuser to ¿nish his logging career and stayed with the company until 1983. Wirkkala then ¿nished his working career at the Naselle School District mowing lawns.

‘The Pajama Game’ opens in Tillamook Musical shows hysterical dangers of workplace romance TILLAMOOK — The dangers of a workplace romance are explored to hysterical effect in the Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts’ production of “The Pajama Game,” a romantic musical comedy from the creators of “Damn Yankees.” Conditions at the SleepTite Pajama Factory are anything but peaceful as sparks Ày between new superintendent Sid Sorokin and Babe Williams, leader of the union grievance committee. Their stormy relationship comes to a head when the workers strike for a sevenand-a-half-cent pay increase, setting off not only a conÀict between management and labor, but a battle of the sexes. Bright and brassy, this unconventional, fast-paced Broadway favorite is every bit the embodiment of legendary

strive to teach your students? Besides the usual aspects of learning to play music, I strive to teach my students the importance of hard work, self-motivation and community involvement. Being able to set goals and understanding the differing processes that allow my students to reach these goals, in a positive manner, is a continuing achievement that I wish for all my students to be able to experience. Would you say music is a passion in your life? Music is a deep passion in my life. My wish is that I am able to instill my love for music to many individuals through my job, life and experiences, and that others will spread their love for music, which in turn creates a harmonious effect throughout our world. How do you prepare for conducting the orchestra for the Little Ballet Theatre’s annual production of “The Nutcracker�? Driving to and from work to Jewell everyday is almost two hours of driving in which, one month before orchestra rehearsals begin, I listen to various Nutcracker performances, at least once a day. I also conduct at home with the Astoria Nutcracker DVD from previous years. What are you listening to now? Currently my electronic devices have waiting for me the following musical selections: Brandenburg Concertos No.2 and No.3; Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7; Bruckner’s Symphony No. 3; the “How to Save a Life� album by The Fray; and a various number of alternative pop and rock selections.
