SUPPORT THE GORGE ARTISTS STUDIO TOUR

As a 501(c)(3) organization, the Gorge Artists Open Studios Tour charter calls for fostering and supporting artists in the region of the Columbia Gorge through the organization and promotion of an annual three-day tour of artist studios. This work requires funding. Monies are used for print, digital and on-air advertising, signage, the booklet and maps, the website, Tour events, and more.

Our 17-year history is living proof of the success of the Tour. People mark their calendars each year as they make plans for the Tour, and they look forward to this event, staged in the spectacular beauty of the Columbia Gorge. As we work with Tour artists, we know that we attract visitors not only from Portland and Vancouver, but also from Seattle, Tri-Cities, Walla Walla, and other points near and far. In addition to revenues generated to support Tour artists, hotels, restaurants, and wineries also see a significant bump in traffic through the Tour weekend.

When you donate to the Tour, we’ll list your name here on this web page, and in the guide for the following year. You’ll be famous!

We hope you’ll find a way to support the Tour event and, through your donation, the broader artistic and business communities here in the Gorge! Use the form below for your online donation, or simply mail a check to Gorge Artists Inc., PO Box 1424, Hood River OR 97031.

Thank you!
