Art in the heart of Camas

The buildings, people, flora and fauna of Camas’ historic downtown provided ample muses for the artists who took part in the 2021 Plein Air Art Event, hosted by the Camas Gallery, on Friday, Sept. 3.

Each year, the event attracts artists from around the Portland-Vancouver metro area, who set up easels and paint outdoors, “en plein air,” on the sidewalks of historic downtown Camas. The event traditionally precedes the Downtown Camas Association’s art-themed September First Friday.
