March 2010 Art Events at High Desert Gallery - Bend, Redmond and Sisters Oregon

March – The month that “spring” shows early signs of appearing! The lower hiking trails start to become accessible yet downhill and cross country skiing are still great options.

In town, you'll find great shops, art galleries and restaurants and we hope you explore and step into your locally owned High Desert Gallery. We have plenty to offer - new, exciting fine art, original paintings, prints and collage and a great First Friday Event, March 5th, 2010, in our Bend art gallery.
