Enjoy an adventure into the night with two paintings from the exhibition Nocturnes. This exhibition displays nighttime scenes by offering cityscapes and landscapes captured at twilight and after dark. Learn more about the exhibition.  

Slow Art Day is an international event to invite novices – and experts – to experience the power of looking at art slowly. Curator of Education, Sorcha Meek Paul will lead the discussions. Free with admission. Register by emailing education@maryhillmuseum.org or calling 509 773-3733 x 25.

Maryhill Museum would like to express our immense gratitude to the volunteers who have generously shared their time and expertise with us. Our wonderful volunteers can be found sharing educational and organizational skills, others aiding in the preparation of educational projects, some helping with the hanging of shows in the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust Education Center, and also preparing for future tour opportunities. We appreciate you and we could not be more excited to work together to make this a truly exceptional year at Maryhill.

In light of National Volunteer Week from April 16th to the 22nd and National Volunteer Month in April, Maryhill is asking all interested readers to join us in making the 2023 Season one of the most exciting ever! As we are officially coming out of a global pandemic, volunteering at the Museum allows you to meet like minded folks and make a commitment to the Arts.

Presently we are in need of volunteers to help with Garden & Grounds and with Exhibitions. If you feel called to help Maryhill and be part of our historic and dynamic outdoor environment or wish to assist with the museum’s exhibition Pacific Northwest Plein Air in the Columbia River Gorge, please contact Curator of Education, Sorcha Meek Paul, by calling 509 773-3733 x  25 or emailing education@maryhillmuseum.org 

April 30 - May 29, 2023
Pacific Northwest Plein Air in the Columbia River Gorge
When the spring wildflowers arrive in the Columbia River Gorge in 2023, they will be greeted by more than 40 artists who will be working to capture their beauty. 

After four days of painting en plein air, the completed works will be taken to Maryhill Museum of Art. The paintings will be available for purchase in the Event Sales Gallery in the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust Education Center from April 30–May 29. 

Pacific Northwest Plein Air in the Columbia River Gorge is a “wet paint” show. Purchased artworks are taken home by their buyers when they are sold. 

Look for artists painting in the Gorge between April 24–27, including on the museum grounds. Follow @maryhillmuseum and #pnwpleinair2023 to see artists in action! 

Maryhill Museum of Art is pleased to partner with Friends of the Columbia Gorge to showcase the connection between arts and conservation.
