NORTH COUNTY RECREATION DISTRICT GALLERY FEATURES “WILDSCAPES” BY CAPTAIN THRON RIGGS, BENEFIT SHOW FOR NCRD PROGRAMS, ARTIST RECEPTION JULY 12TH

Posted on July 7, 2025 by Editor

Join Captain Thron Riggs, retired Columbia River Bar Pilot, at a reception for his show “Wildscapes” at the NCRD Gallery, 36155 9th Street in Nehalem, on Saturday, July 12 from 2 to 4 p.m.  Riggs, who has a deep affinity for the Oregon Coast, and particularly the Nehalem Bay area, will be showing 40 new paintings—many showcasing this rugged landscape.   

North County Recreation District (NCRD) is hosting the show for Captain Riggs who has generously offered 80% of the proceeds from the show to support the vital role NCRD plays in the health and wellness of the Nehalem Bay area community.

 

Capt. Thron Riggs will be showing 40 of his paintings in a show entitled “Wildscapes” at NCRD in Nehalem.

Since retiring from his active, unique standing as one of 14 bar pilots on the Columbia River bar, Captain Riggs continues to enjoy the bounty of life on the north Oregon Coast as an avid surfer, painter, musician (viola), radio host and maritime scholar. He began his career on the sea on merchant ships after graduation from high school and spent 27 years on ships, the last seven as Master. He became a Columbia River Bar Pilot in 1993.

Plan to attend the reception on July 12th to meet Captain Riggs — ever the quintessential sea captain — where he is always standing ready to deliver sea stories or the inside scoop on what it is really like to pilot a giant ship through the world’s most dangerous bar.

“Wildscapes” will be up the entire month of July and is open for public viewing Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. or weekends by appointment. Call 503-368-3203.
