ART GALLERIES AND MUSEUMS

Attic Gallery: The gallery will feature the work of Earl Hamilton, an Oregon artist whose abstract paintings are filled with a kind of whimsical lightness and have been described as “meditative, mystical, contemplative, energetic, bold and confident.” The gallery is located at 408 N.E. Fourth Ave., Camas. For more information, call 360-817-2415.

Camas Gallery: The Gallery will feature the remastered bronze sculptures of The Foundry Michelangelo, including iconic sculptures by Lorenzo Ghiglieri, Laran Ghiglieri and Frederic Remington. The gallery is located at 408 N.E. Fourth Ave., Camas. For more information, visit camasgallery.com.

Second Story Gallery: The gallery will feature abstract paintings by Ami Brimhall and pierced pottery vessels by Linda Kliewer during “Holding/Space: Presence and Possibility,” a two-month show that runs throughout October and November. The gallery is located on the second floor of the Camas Public Library. Art is available for viewing during regular library hours: 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Wednesday, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday through Saturday. For more information, call 360-834-4692 or visit second storygallery.net.

Art at the Cave: The gallery’s October’s exhibit, “Interconnected, Interwoven, Interactive,” offers a peek into the complexities of our lives and mimics the neutral tones of fall — dissecting visual information into a dark, dense color palette. The show features work by artists Pamela Chipman and Jill Falk. Chipman’s interactive video installation, photographs and video address sexism and gender inequality, while Falk’s paintings reveal patterns and tendencies of perception that exist both within and beyond the present moment. The gallery is located at 108 E. Evergreen Blvd., Vancouver, and is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.
