The Friends of Vista House Gift Gallery at Crown Point State Park is looking for high quality art and hand made crafts, gifts, and toys. Jury acceptance will be primarily based on whether the item meets the requirements of the Gift Gallery Mission statement (see below), as well as quality, pricing, and display availability.

Jury applicants will be greeted by a representative of the Friends of Vista House, and items will be juried in the order of arrival. Jury information and applications will be available there, but it would be very helpful and a time-saver for you and the jury team if you would download our application here and bring it completed along with the items to be reviewed.

If possible please arrive at the beginning of the session. Jury hour is from 1 to 2 pm.

The Gift Gallery Mission Statement:

“To provide to the visitors of the Vista House items that are interpretive of the Vista House, the Columbia River Gorge, the State of Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. The items selected for display and sale in the Gift Shop may include Gorge history, flora, fauna, geology and geography, Northwest Native American culture, items related to the Historic Columbia River Highway, & visitor travel needs. Vista House was dedicated to Oregon Pioneers, so items relating to pioneer crafts and skills are also appropriate.  Exceptional quality is a requirement for sales items.”
