🚨 Spring Market Vendor Update – Please Read 🚨
We are excited about the upcoming Gladstone Spring Market and want to share an important reminder for all vendors:
✅ There are ONLY two official ways to become a vendor:
1️⃣ Register in person at the Gladstone Community Center
2️⃣ Register and pay directly through the official City of Gladstone website
❌ We will NEVER ask vendors to:
• Send payment through social media
• Respond to comments asking you to “PM for details”
• Register through third-party links or personal messages
Unfortunately, there are scams circulating where individuals pose as event organizers. Please do not engage with or send money to anyone claiming otherwise.
If you see a comment asking vendors to message them or offering vendor spots, it is not legitimate.
📍 If you have questions, please contact the Gladstone Community Center directly or use the City of Gladstone’s official website.
Thank you for helping us keep this event safe, organized, and successful—we can’t wait to see you at the Spring Market!

A selection of intuitive, mixed-media paintings by Oregon-based artist Claudia Dose, currently on view as part of a Clackamas County Arts Alliance exhibition in a local hospital setting.
These works are created through a process of listening and allowing form to emerge, rather than planning or control. The paintings explore themes of inner movement, openness, and the subtle threshold between tension and release.
Placed within a healthcare environment, the intention is simple: to offer moments of pause, reflection, and quiet connection for patients, visitors, and staff.
This exhibition is part of a broader Arts Alliance initiative bringing original artwork into community spaces.

Learn to garden with beneficial insects and paint with cockroaches!

During this workshop, we will learn all about the good insects in your garden and how to encourage their presence. We know about how great ladybugs and praying mantids are, but did you know there are many more awesome critters out there that can help eat those pesky caterpillars and aphids? Students will also receive several handouts that contain helpful resources and information on beneficial insects and pollinators. Next, we will check out some pre-collected beneficial arthropods, and then take a little field trip to see what we can find around the garden. Finally, we will paint with giant Madagascar hissing cockroaches!
*This class is for ages 10+. Limited spaces available, sign up today!
