Join Captain Thron Riggs, retired Columbia River Bar Pilot, at a reception for his show “Wildscapes” at the NCRD Gallery, 36155 9th Street in Nehalem, on Saturday, July 12 from 2 p.m. – 4 p.m. Riggs, who has a deep affinity for the Oregon Coast, and particularly the Nehalem Bay area, will be showing 40 new paintings—many showcasing this rugged landscape.
North County Recreation District (NCRD) is hosting the show for Captain Riggs who has generously offered 80% of the proceeds from the show to support the vital role NCRD plays in the health and wellness of the Nehalem Bay area community.
Since retiring from his active, unique standing as one of 14 bar pilots on the Columbia River bar, Captain Riggs continues to enjoy the bounty of life on the north Oregon Coast as an avid surfer, painter, musician (viola), radio host and maritime scholar. He began his career on the sea on merchant ships after graduation from high school and spent 27 years on ships, the last seven as Master. He became a Columbia River Bar Pilot in 1993.
Plan to attend the reception to meet Capt. Riggs on July 12 to meet Capt. Riggs—ever the quintessential sea captain—where he is always standing ready to deliver sea stories or the inside scoop on what it is really like to pilot a giant ship through the world’s most dangerous bar.
“Wildscapes” will be up the entire month of July and is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. or weekends by appointment. Call 503-368-3203.

Call for Art!

Lynne M. Allison Memorial Art Show
2025 Theme: “Art of Maritime Navigation”

The Cannon Beach Arts Association is pleased to announce a new annual exhibition to celebrate the life and artistic contributions of the late Lynne M. Allison, a talented local artist and cherished member of our Cannon Beach community. This exhibition is designed to honor her legacy by organizing a juried exhibition each year that specifically highlights the diverse subject matter that inspired Lynne in her own artistic works.

A guest juror will choose first, second, and third prize winners from the exhibition. Prize money for the winners is generously provided by Lynne’s foundation.

This year’s theme is Marine Navigation, offering artists various ways to find inspiration. They can use navigation maps and charts as visual pieces, explore themes of adventure, and incorporate tools like compasses and binoculars. Artists can reflect on journeys, both real and symbolic, encouraging viewers to consider their own paths. Natural elements seen by navigators—stars, waves, wind, and marine life—serve as abundant visual and symbolic iconography, the ocean’s beauty and its changing moods, which are essential to navigation can also be considered.

This will be a juried show with cash prizes

First prize =$1000

Second prize – $500

Third prize = $250

Guest Juror: Matthew Palmgren, Assistant Curator for the Columbia River Maritime Museum in Astoria.

JURY DEADLINE: AUGUST 7, 2025

Each submission will be evaluated based on:

Artistic merit

Relevance to the exhibition theme

If the work is “Gallery Ready” meaning dry paint, has the ability to hang on the wall (wire, or sawtooth), has the artists name, title of the work, medium, and price on the back of the piece.

The jury will deliberate to select a predetermined number of works for the exhibition.

Artists whose work is not selected will be notified following the jury decision.

Important dates:

Submission deadline: Drop off artwork August 7, 2025 at the Cannon Beach Gallery, or Submit online through our website.

Pickup of unselected works: If you are not selected for the exhibition please communicate with the gallery about pick up.

*Artist will be disqualified for the jury process if the artwork is not “gallery ready.”

When I’m not coaching, writing poetry, or playing music, you’ll find me road-tripping in my Delica L-300, boating, or chasing my dogs down the beach.

Hello All,
I’m sad to report that thieves are in our area. Early Friday morning an older black pick-up truck (no muffler) came up our private driveway and when approached, a woman (one of two people) pretended to be looking for an airbnb and kept us distant from the truck. Later that morning we realized that our two bicycles had been taken from the outdoor shed.

Just wanted everyone to be aware that this happened. We’ve been pretty cavalier about leaving the house and cars unlocked, bikes and tools where someone could snatch them, but now we’re going to be more careful.

Attaching a photo of my beloved Gary Fisher bike in case anyone sees it around.
