EXHIBITS
The History of Cannon Beach Artists: Exhibition 2007 will be on display at the Cannon Beach History Center through April 2008. The exhibit includes photos, articles, and ephemera, as well as works of art. It chronicles the story of Cannon Beach artists from the 1960s—the early “art colony” days—to the present, and includes art pieces from many different artists, ranging from Joe Police to Andrea Kosharek, current Director of the Cannon Beach Arts Association.
New Addition to Permanent Exhibit: Native American Longhouse, furnished with replica artifacts crafted by Northwest Native American artisans. This exhibit is a full sensory experience, allowing visitors to enter a longhouse like those once occupied by residents of the Native American villages at No-Cost, on the shores of Ecola Creek, and Ma-ti, in Tolovana.
