Read moreArt of any genre's greatest strength and weakness is its ability to nearly become something, without actually being forced to commit to fully becoming that thing. Think of it as a butterfly just as it breaks free of the chrysalis... not a moment before or after. It is a delicate moment between entropy and becoming something new through accretion and artists like Richard Tuttle and Jackson Pollock are masters of it.

Read moreTHURSDAY, MARCH 24TH, 5 - 9 PM at 1100 NW GLISAN ST, PORTLAND, OR 97209. PDX Contemporary Art, Augen Gallery, Froelick Gallery, Charles A. Hartman Fine Art, Pulliam Gallery and Nazraeli Press: These galleries are banding together, hosting a modest event to raise money for Mercy Corps' Japan relief fund. Each participating gallery will have on view and for sale art by Japanese artists and artists who feel they have been influenced by Japanese culture. We will donate 25% of the sale to Mercy Corps.
We wanted to do something right away to help Japan and at the same time honor and recognize the artistic and creative importance of the country.
We realize that not everyone will be able to make it to the event, so PDX extends this offer from Thursday, March 24th - Thursday, March 31st.

Splace was prepared for in the artists' studio, then created on site at Nine Gallery over a period of several days.

Read moreMarie Watt is featured in 516 Arts upcoming exhibition “Feminisms” opening September 26, 2020, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. “Feminisms” is a partnership between 516 Arts and the Wheelwright Muesum of the American Indian and is guest-curated by Andrea R. Hanley.
“Feminisms features artists of various cultures whose creative possibilities use the theme of feminism in its most expansive meaning. Works are far reaching from a diasporic experience, the politics of body, resilience, self-determination, and land. These artists approach their process and practice in a variety of mediums including video, performance, installation, two and three dimensional works, all of which are all connected to current cultural, political, historical and semiotic climates.”
Feminisms will be open from September 26, 2020 to January 2, 2021.

This exhibition brings together the work of eight visual artists engaged in abstract, contemporary painting and sculpture.
