For Merchandise Consideration

Feb 18, March 17, April 14, May 12, June 16 and July 21 (All jury dates are on Saturdays, Hours from 1 to 2 PM) Juries will be held at Rooster Rock State Park in the Park Office (**Directions below).

The Friends of Vista House Gift Store 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 Friends of Vista House Interpretive Store Mission Statement:
“To provide visitors to the Vista House with items which 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 Interpretive Store may include Gorge history, flora, fauna, geology and geography, Northwest Native American culture, and items related to the Historic Columbia River Highway. Vista House is dedicated to Oregon Pioneers, so items relating to pioneer crafts and skills are also appropriate.  Exceptional quality is a requirement for sales items.”
