Art Under 300 Gallery
The gallery, curated by art teacher JoAnn Gilles, is only open during Art a la Carte, the First Friday event in downtown Milwaukie, and every Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., during the farmers market.
The mission statement for the gallery notes that the space is a showcase for artists where they can “complete the process of the art cycle, by showing their work.” All the art is for sale, and all prices are less than $300 – thus the name of the site.
