April at Gallery 55
Gallery 55’s guest for the month of April is Washington painter Laurel Nickels. Her paintings are of rural scenes embellished with intricate patterns. In her paintings, the viewer sees a blue sky or golden grass carved in swirls in the most unexpected way and a way with light that increases the emotion of the piece. Many of the subjects she has chosen to paint are scenes from her adventures in McCall. Also, please note that from March 20 to April 20, photographer Connie McClaran’s work is 20% off for her Birthday Month Sale. Connie is known for her beautiful photos of Western landscapes.
Please join us for a reception to celebrate Connie McClaran’s Birthday Month Sale and Laurel Nickels’ art on Saturday, April 7, 4-6:30 p.m., with live music by Lindsey Lynch.

Art in the Plaza 2026
Make your plans! Gallery Fifty-Five is again sponsoring its annual August art fair. You may know it as Art in the Courtyard, but this year it is called Art in the Plaza after the venue name, Depot Plaza. We have consolidated the event from two areas to one, taking full advantage of the stage area across from Legacy Park on Payette Lake. Everyone, artists and fair attendees, will still have convenient access to the Salmon River Brewery in the Courtyard and to other nearby McCall restaurants. There will also be a new addition to the art fair, a wine bar in the Depot Plaza area. The fair dates are August 28-30. If you are an artist interested in participating, watch this space for the link to apply. Applications will be accepted April 1-June 1.

Are you interested in teaching a workshop at Gallery Fifty-Five? Gallery Fifty-Five, located in the heart of downtown McCall on Payette Lake, is a beautiful location for a workshop. Space is limited to four students inside, but in the summer you can use the back porch and, weather permitting, the grassy area by the lake. The gallery is especially well-suited for plein air painting, providing plenty of opportunity for students to explore McCall and the lake scenery within walking distance. We have tables and chairs, or you may provide your own. Gallery Fifty-Five workshops are advertised in online calendars, social media, our newsletter and on our website. For more information, email us at gallery55art@gmail.com.
