Downtown Art
From our vintage panel murals to our Streatery and kiosk digital art, we utilize these locations to celebrate cultural heritage and local artists while beautifying our downtown.
Stevenson Topo
by Swell Studio
A watercolor painting with topographic contour lines of the Stevenson/Cascade Locks area of the Columbia River.
Dan Copenhaver, of Swell Studio: I am a Stevenson artist specializing in watercolor painting and photography. My painting work thrives in the intersection between traditional, realistic landscape painting and the unbridled play of abstraction. My photography explores the colors, shadows, and textures of the natural world.
SDA Mural River View
by Dawn Nielson
This work is part of a larger composition. The mural is located in the Stevenson Downtown Association office conference room. The full design showcases a broader scope of the Columbia Gorge.
Dawn Nielson: I create from the Columbia Gorge in Stevenson, Washington, where forests, rain, and shifting landscapes shape my work. Inspired by patterns in nature that echo the human body and mind, I explore healing, resilience, and connection. After careers in graphic design and business ownership, and life after breast cancer, I returned to art and discovered it as my own path toward growth and transformation.

Bee Hive 1
by K.R. Vincent Arts
Alfonse Mucha style colorful painted bee hives. Acrylic and house paint.
Surreal nature artist, K.R. Vincent, I am a local PNW gorge artist. I test the boundaries of reality with my creations. I explore using painting, woodwork, sculpture and many other mediums. I love to push my work through a point of hybridity. Having the ability to use my creative education and skill set enables me to bring the conscious and unconscious to a visual and tangible reality.
Save the Grange
by Jesse Archer

Jesse Archer: Everything is stories and I am a storyteller. Stevenson Grange Hall has been keeper of this river town's stories for generations and I hope its legacy as a vibrant social center will soon be revived so the stories may continue...
