Downtown Camas’ three art galleries will celebrate the openings of new shows during First Friday. Artist’s receptions will be held at each venue from 5 to 8 p.m.
The exhibitions will include one highlighting the work of three landscape painters, another that includes artwork created from devil’s claw seed pods and feathers, and the third featuring the paintings and raku pottery of a well-known husband-and-wife team.
That Camas couple is Dave and Boni Deal, who will exhibit their work March 4 through 26 at the Second Story Gallery, upstairs in the Camas Public Library.
Lifelong Pacific Northwest potters, the Deals have worked full-time in the ceramic art of raku for 40 years, since their early days at Clark College in Vancouver.
Their work is shown in prominent Northwest galleries and in public and private collections worldwide, and is known for large classical forms and intricate surface design.
