VANCOUVER — Washington State University Vancouver this summer will feature exhibits by Northwest artist Allen Greene and a group exhibition by Print Arts Northwest of Portland, Ore.
A collection of watercolors from Greene, featuring scenes from the mountain and desert country of Washington and Oregon, will be on display in the WSU Vancouver Student Services building gallery July 5 through August 29.
Greene is influenced by his love of the outdoors and much of his work is done in the plein-air (outside using natural light) tradition. He resumed painting after retirement from a lengthy career as an architect. His artistic studies began at Central Washington University and University of Oregon, where he studied with artists Neil Koch and Andrew Vincent.
Print Arts Northwest will present a group exhibit in the Engineering Life Sciences building July 8 through August 26. Each piece in the exhibit is the product of the artist, from inception through completion of either hand printing or the use of an etching or lithography press. The pieces in the exhibit include a range of Print Arts Northwest members incorporating various techniques, including lithograph, serigraph (screen print), relief (woodblock, woodcut, wood engraving or linoleum), intaglio (etching, engraving, drypoint, mezzotint, aquatint, collagraph, vitreograph, monotype) and monoprint.
For more than 20 years, Print Arts Northwest has supported contemporary printmaking by promoting the practice, appreciation and collection of original prints through exhibitions and educational programs. Print Arts Northwest boasts a membership of more than 150 artists from Oregon, Washington, Alaska, Idaho, Hawaii, Montana, Alberta and British Columbia.

Entry to campus exhibits is free. WSU Vancouver galleries are open from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday. WSU Vancouver is located at 14204 N.E. Salmon Creek Ave., east of the 134th Street exit from either I-5 or I-205. Parking is available at parking meters or in the blue lot for $1.75.
