Oregon Art Beat and Oregon Field Guide Anniversary Celebration

Join OPB to celebrate the anniversaries of two of our long-running original TV series! Oregon Art Beat celebrates 25 years and Oregon Field Guide is entering its 35th season! We’ll commemorate these milestones by watching the season premieres on the big screen, mingle with the artists and guests from both shows, and give away some special OPB prizes.

This Season on Oregon Art Beat

OPB’s Emmy award-winning series Oregon Art Beat celebrates 25 years of profiling artists from across the Northwest, chronicling the dynamism and creative spirit of the region. And we’re just getting started! In this season premiere, we meet Portland’s “First Lady of Blues” LaRhonda Steele, and her daughter Lauren who’s in the midst of her own impressive musical and theatrical journey. Next we witness the talents of Northwest painter Josh Gates, who transforms rainy Portland landscapes into evocative works of art. And then we explore the bold, vibrant murals of Portland’s Eastside Industrial Area with Art Beat producer (and muralist) Jacob Pander.

This Season on Oregon Field Guide

What makes the Northwest such an incredible place to live? For 35 years, Oregon Field Guide has answered that question by sharing dramatic stories of adventure, wilderness, rural life and environmental science! We climb the peaks, raft the rivers, probe little-known caves and explore the hidden wonders of even the most far-flung nooks and crannies of the Northwest. We kick off this season with a journey down the Klamath River as the region prepares for the largest dam removal project in the nation, hike the cliffs of the Columbia Plateau in search of the elusive “chukar,’ and take a visual journey into the small wonders of one photographer’s backyard. It’s a season premiere that kicks-off a season of adventures to come!
