Names you'll run into include 301 and Gallery at Columbia Center for the Arts, plus Dylan Martinez Glass Studio.

Gallery tips for Hood River

Gallery-going in Hood River? A few habits help:

• Bring a curious friend at 301. Art is better with someone to argue with about it. The disagreement is the point.
• Don't rush the video work at Gallery at Columbia Center for the Arts. Video installations need their full runtime. Sit down, give it the minutes it asks for.
• Note the curator's name. Good curators have taste you can follow. If you loved the show, look up what else they've put together.
• Check for artist talks. Talks, walkthroughs and panel discussions are often free and turn a good show into a great evening.
