Healing Presence: Paintings by Claudia Dose
2026-05-21 10:00 - 17:00, 2026-05-20 10:00 - 17:00, 2026-05-19 10:00 - 17:00, 2026-05-18 10:00 - 17:00, 2026-05-17 10:00 - 17:00, 2026-05-16 10:00 - 17:00, 2026-05-15 10:00 - 17:00 | Willamette Falls Medical Center, 1500 Division St, Oregon City, OR, 97045, United States
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.

Legendary comedienne and Ziegfeld star Fanny Brice (Melissa Gale) has all the qualities to become Broadway’s next big star: the voice, the charm, and plenty of chutzpah. But does she have “the look”? This heartfelt musical comedy traces her unlikely rise to fame with the Ziegfeld Follies and her tumultuous romantic relationship with gambler Nick Arnstein (Nick Serrone). Featuring one of the greatest musical scores of all time, Funny Girl includes timeless classics like “Don’t Rain on My Parade,” “I’m the Greatest Star,” “People,” and much more.
The Title Sponsors for Funny Girl are Tom & Marjorie Croft & Jack’s Overhead Door, and the Music Sponsor is The Portland Spirit.

The endearing, emotional musical features a lineup of great tunes performed through Bob Merrill and Jule Styne’s unforgettable score, which includes “People,” “Don’t Rain On My Parade,” “I’m the Greatest Star,” “The Music That Makes Me Dance,” and “You Are Woman, I Am Man.”

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.
