First I was thrilled, then I was disappointed. I'd visited this gallery for several years as part…read moreof my trips to the the Columbia Gorge and was saddened to see that it closed back in 2011. The thrilled part came in when I was strolling through the Historic Troutdale District and started practically tripping over his life size wildlife statues. But, it wasn't random. Turns out the gallery relocated just a few blocks from the original location, so you can still see his fine work. The disappointment part is that the current gallery space, which the staff calls transitional, just doesn't showcase his grand work to the same degree. The gallery is probably 1/8th of the former size and can't accommodate some of the larger pieces. Half of the space is the artist's studio where he both creates his statues and offers classes to the public. The gallery contains just a small portion of his work and also houses exhibits by other artists in various mediums (sculpture, photography). Caswell's current subject matter, based on a series of special commissions, is also overtly religious. Not everyone's cup of tea or chalise of wine. While I will still visit the gallery when I'm in Troutdale, it won't be as frequent and no longer merits a special trip. The Columbia Gorge itself is the real wow factor.

I had no idea this place was so close in Troutdale, until my fiancee found it on Yelp while we were…read morestaying at Edgefield for the weekend. Great place to taste some wine and check out some amazing art. Everyone is extremely friendly and welcoming. The art ranges from Rip's spectacular bronze sculptures to Ali's beautiful one-of-a-kind jewelry to various photographs, paintings, bells and glasswork. It's all bigger and better than anything I've seen in a long time. I understand this place has a First Friday artwalk, plus other art/wine/food events, so we'll be back here soon for sure.

Short answer: If you want an incredible piece of artwork,…read moretake the time to go to the wilds of Camas, WA and visit The Attic. It is one of my favorites. And, as an added bonus, the City of Camas is a delight! Longer Answer: I love artwork. I understand everyone has their own tastes. Mine seems to be eclectic. I own everything from original pieces, to vintage travel posters, to signed lithographs, to lots of treasures in between. And one of the best places in the Pacific Northwest to peruse, and purchase, all sorts of fabulous pieces you will treasure is in Camas, WA. It is called The Attic. Unless it is just a hop-skip away, consider looking at their website. I was enchanted! We stopped on the way to purchase a motorcycle in Portland when I mentioned I had seen something on-line. The gallery is fun! It is well lit and spacious without being too echo-y. It is not gigantic, although it is bigger than it looks from the sidewalk. There were several people there when we arrived, looking through the artwork and yet it didn't feel claustrophobic, yay! I also have a bit of a thing for quality customer service. I do not care for pushy, but I also do not want to feel I am some sort of an imposition by being there. Especially when you are talking about something as personal as artwork, and again when there are several potential clients who wandered in at the same time, that can be a tough situation to manage. The gals at The Attic handled it beautifully. I felt seen and acknowledged from the moment we walked in. Yes, I had to wait my turn, fine. When it was my turn, they could not have been more attentive, informative and appreciative. I ended up not purchasing either of the pieces by Earl Hamilton that I had found on- line. Instead, I purchased a completely different one by him that I absolutely love! I will also say I think I showed wild amounts of restraint by not buying several other pieces I fell in love with that day...at least not yet... ; ) The Attic knows their artists. They know their inventory. They love what they do. How cool is that? I will inevitably be back. Visit their website and/or their gallery. I believe you will thank me.

It's hard to book now I been trying to book for 3 years now . It's always the same BS . I decided to choose another artist. This was one of my BEST places to go!

They have really reasonable pricing too, telling me up front that they based their post card prices off of being competitive with Modern Postcard, which is amazing and I have no idea how they can do it but I'll take it. They helped me with a custom designed tri-fold card recently which turned out beautifully and little did I know they were actually going to fold all the cards for me too! They contacted me before printing the cards to let me know that the logo was pixelated so I could fix the issue before the order was complete. The only thing that concerned me was when I asked about sustainable practices they seemed to be less informed than I would have liked. But all in all, I highly recommend supporting this community-minded business.

Lovely gallery right in the Main Street in Troutdale. Featuring works of local artists, there are…read morelot of landscapes and wildlife representing the gorgeous Pacific Northwest. Several mediums are represented, which I really like, so you have options. Oil painting, acrylics, watercolors, metal work, ceramics, wood, paper and even jewelry. Loved the variety of art styles and the fact that the art was affordable. There were pieces across a wide spectrum of prices, many artists offering prints or canvas options of original art at a fraction of the price. Since I have limited wall space, I have to be very particular with the art I purchase and there are two pieces that I am considering. The artists take turns working at the gallery so you get to meet and speak with them, which I find very enjoyable. Art tells a story and getting to know the artists and the story behind the art makes it that much richer. Troutdale has a First Friday from 5-8pm and Red Trillium is part of this fun monthly event.
