Get a taste of the "old West" and Jacksonville's gold mining days when you step behind the counter of the oldest financial institution in the Pacific Northwest that began as a gold dust office in 1856. The Beekman Bank Museum saw over $40 million in gold cross its counters during the town’s heyday in the late 1800s—the equivalent of over $1 billion today. Interact with costumed docents sharing stories of late 19th Century banking practices, gold shipping, and handshake deals; step behind the counter and peer in drawers containing old checks, stage schedules, and paperwork; enter the vault that stored all those millions in gold! Allow 30 minutes.

July Exhibition at ART ON FIRST: Inner Landscape Paintings - Martina Goldberg

Monday, June 30 - Monday, July 28, 11:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Opening Reception: Friday, July 4, 5:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.

Currently featured at ART on FIRST are inner landscape paintings by Martina Goldberg. Working mainly with acrylics, Martina captures visual aspects of landscapes in Mexico combined with a Northern European spirit, taking her expression beyond the limits of her viewers’ eyes. Using just a few visual elements and a limited palette, Martina’s paintings are often dramatically contrasted but also subtly blended, which is her way of interpreting the essence and mood of her compositions, always aiming to evoke in her viewers an inner landscape. She wants her viewers to feel the landscapes, not just see them.
