Canopy Gallery

Threefold wisdom of the tree:
Leaf wisdom of change, ever releasing.
Branch wisdom of growth, ever reaching.
Root wisdom of endurance, ever deepening.

     Canopy Gallery was developed in order to provide exposure to artists on the Oregon Coast. A canopy is a covering placed above an exalted personage or sacred object.  We would like to do the same thing for artists because they express our humanity, our life conditions and question the meanings of things. They add value to our days. They provoke us intellectually, emotionally and spiritually. They beautify our environments. They entertain our constantly ever curious minds. They help put the unexamined in context through contrast and comparison. Canopy Gallery’s most important goal is to highlight the artist and showcase art that travels the spectrum from the profane to the sacred.

     The leafy upper branches of the trees in the forest are also a canopy. Can the Oregon Coast be understood separate from the impact of the lumber industry? We are indebted to the trees that have protected and sheltered our communities; for the abundance and prosperity that has been harvested by hard working men and women. Now, as the community learns to integrate environmental strategies and self-sustaining agribusiness, Canopy Gallery strives to contribute to the understanding, health and promotion of the environment that sustains us.

     The sky above also provides a canopy. “The sky is the limit,” we say when we are optimistic about the future and potential growth. Canopy Gallery features artistic stars who link the universe with the human heart, creating art both personal and limitless.
