Sitka Art Invitational with Ben Shockey, Rebecca Welti and Greg Wilbur
Join host Andre Middleton with his guest Ben Shockey, Rebecca Welti and Greg Wilbur as they talk about the 22nd Annual Sitka Art Invitational, an annual exhibition and sale brings together more than 400 works by more than 140 Pacific Northwest artists.

The Sitka Art Invitational celebrates artwork inspired by the natural world and complements the learning and art making that happens at Sitka during our workshop and residency programs. This exhibit rounds out our programs, piquing the interests of all types of art enthusiasts: makers, students, buyers, and devotees. The show happens annually in Portland to help us reach a larger audience than is possible on the coast. This event gives us a chance to strengthen our connection with the Sitka community and build awareness for our workshop and residency programs.

The 2015 show will include leading Northwest figures such as Lucinda Parker, Rick Bartow, Frank Boyden, Sheryl Funkhouser, Deb Dewit, Charissa Brock, Yuji Hiratsuka, Hilary Pfeifer, Victoria Christen, Jean Clugston, William Park, and Judy Vogland. Pacific Northwest artists were selected by a committee and invited to participate based on their use of nature and ecology themes in their work. 

Opening Party: November 6, 5-10 pm
Exhibit and Sale: November 7-8, 10 ma - 4 pm
Miller Hall, World Forestry Center, 4033 SW Canyon Road, Portland OR
