Join us for a lovely evening of art chat covering upcoming events. You don't need to be a member to check out our group - attend a meeting to see what we are all about and ask any questions you may have.

The HeART Fest committee has some updates for us - we look forward to continued planning of this event next February. It will be bigger than this past February's show, meaning we need all the help we can get. If helping with any part of the event sounds like something you're interested in, please let the committee know at the meeting or reach out to us on our contact page.

For our monthly presentation, we have the pleasure of welcoming member Liz Pike! She will be sharing her expertise on “How To Market and Sell Art”.

Liz Pike, a distinguished artist and entrepreneur from Camas, Washington, offers a wealth of knowledge in her professional presentation about marketing and selling fine art. Pike shares practical strategies drawn from her extensive experience, guiding artists on building their brand, engaging audiences, and navigating the art market. Her multifaceted career exemplifies how blending creative talent with entrepreneurial insight can lead to a successful and fulfilling path in the arts. 

With over three decades of experience in marketing and advertising, including founding Pike Advertising Agency in 1995, she seamlessly integrates business acumen with creative passion. Pike’s artistic journey with oils on canvas began in 1984, leading to the establishment of the Pike Art Gallery in downtown Camas in 2006, which she revitalized in 2023 after a 15-year hiatus. Today, Liz owns and operates RedDoor Gallery, Clark County’s premier gallery of fine art.

Beyond her personal artistic endeavors, Pike is a fervent advocate for the arts community. She founded the Camas First Friday Art Walk, a monthly event that has become a staple in the local arts scene. Through her “Artful Intersect” series, Pike collaborates with local businesses to display art, thereby expanding artists’ reach and integrating art into everyday spaces.

Sandy Moore - Take Flight, fiber collage

A bit about Sandy's presentation...

You do not need to be a professional photographer to take ‘jury ready’ photos. You do not need a fancy camera. You do not need a studio. All you need is your phone and a little knowledge. I know what jurors want to see and it's well within your reach. Before turning to fiber arts full time, I interned in the photo library of the Portland Art Museum, worked in the photo archives of the Oregon Historical Art Museum, and then supported myself for many years working in the field of photography. I’m happy to share what I’ve learned.
