Nice. First time I've been there. The artists all had good space to display their work. I was there for the opening of Rhythm. This work is by a friend, Elena Weisenburger, but there were other artists too.

The gallery featured a nice variety of mediums and styles. It was great for a quick stop and we felt very satisfied with our time there.  Much of the local art is reasonably priced so if you are looking to take something home with you, this is a great place to stop in. There is also an array of greeting cards featuring the artists in the gallery.

It's a lovely gallery. A good size - not huge but definitely enough art to spend an hour. They also have a small store with lovely items. It's a beautiful building and the people are very nice. There is also no charge, but they do ask that you donate if you can.

A lovely venue that supports the local arts. We happened across there really to use the bathroom, but noticed it was 9 AM and they opened at 11 AM, so initially we were going to leave...but then someone noticed us outside and let us in! Turns out they were rehearsing for a play. Someone came out to the art gallery and turned the lights on for us. I ended up buying some lovely postcards, and the woman gave us great advice on where to eat. I'd definitely go back.

Columbia Center For The Arts is high on my favorite place in the world list.  The current Art-A-Day Exhibition is very sparkly, and Jason Graham's "What We Risk: Creativity, Vulnerability, and Art Discussion" event in the charming theater was well worth the late night drive home to Troutdale.  Staff is unerringly friendly, welcoming, and without an arrogant bone in their respective bodies, and I expect to continue making the drive often  for events.  Note that Hood River gets very busy, and that street coin and public lot parking cards or bills are paid during business hours, but I have been able to find a spot without any great difficulty thus far.  Go!

I recently attended an artists reception in this gallery.  It was my first time in the gallery.  The reception was great and I enjoyed viewing artwork from up and coming artists.  Nice location.  The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because of the lack of parking.

Beautiful place to visit. Only Local artist are featured . That's the best. Gorgeous pieces to admire or purchase. They also feature  first rate plays and shows in a community theatre type venue. Fantastic talent.

Beautiful gallery, convenient downtown location, and extremely high quality art work. Friendly and informative staff. Definitely worth stopping in when you're in Hood River.

Nice place! The manager its a very awesome woman

Beautiful setting,  intimate,  and safe!  Great music and well handled by the Center!
