An upcoming October show at Camas’ Second Story Gallery, which kicks off tomorrow with a Camas First Friday reception, will focus on more than just beautiful artwork.

“Some of the (artwork) will be earmarked for the Elephant Crisis Fund,” explains Gary Watson, one of two artists showing at Second Story Gallery through most of October. “All of the proceeds from those with the tags will help the elephants.”
