"Salmon for the Sandy" salmon sculpture renditions by Northwest artists, including two by Terry Woodall, were auctioned at a gala event October 24, 2007, at the Portland Art Museum. The fund raiser project, spearheaded by the Western Rivers Conservancy, finalized the removal of all dams on the Sandy River near Portland, Oregon, once again restoring salmon and steelhead spawning grounds to the headwaters of the river. The Portland Art Museum celebration capped a summer long display of the 16 large salmon sculptures around the Portland area, and a traveling educational display of 14 smaller versions.
From whimsical to scientific, the sculptures were well received and made a major contribution to the successful restoration of salmon runs in an urban river system, a first for the nation.
Terry Woodall's "Myrtlewood Migration" was purchased by Portland General Electric for permanent display in the Portland World Trade Center. PGE was a key sponser of the "Salmon for the Sandy" project and owned some dams removed from the river. One dam removed was the largest Northwest dam removal project in 40 years. |
