Read moreCongratulations to Ivan Carmona, Natalie Ball and Donald Morgan! The Ford Family Foundation today named its 2020 Hallie Ford Fellows in the Visual Arts, recognizing three Oregon visual artists for demonstrated excellence.
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.

PDX CONTEMPORARY ART is delighted to announce a pop up show July 16 - 26 at the Lostine Tavern in Lostine, Oregon.
Jane Beebe, Owner and Director of PDX CONTEMPORARY ART, has been visiting Wallowa County for forty years to spend time at a family place. Last January, noticing a "For Sale" sign in the Lostine Tavern window, Beebe wondered if Peter Ferre, owner of the Tavern, would let PDX have a pop up in the space. Ferre welcomed the idea and thus plans began.
While the Lostine Tavern is currently closed, the Tavern continues to host classes and community events and remains a beautiful, two-story, local stone building in the center of town. The Lostine Tavern was built in 1900, renovated in 2013, and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
Like a visit from an old friend, the show hopes to say hello, share what's new in work and life, and have a fun summer visit. The show will feature twenty eight artists with work ranging from prints, paintings, and photographs to ceramics, bronzes, and books. All art will be for sale and a portion of proceeds will be donated to the Lostine basketball court effort.
The Artists: Anna Gray + Ryan Wilson Paulsen, Tina Beebe, Nick Blosser, Iván Carmona, Bean Finneran, Jacques Flèchemuller, Ellen George, Victoria Haven, Elizabeth Knight, Justin L’Amie, James Lavadour, Kristen Miller, Wes Mills, Jeffry Mitchell, Megan Murphy, Jenene Nagy, Georgina Reskala, Joe Rudko, Tad Savinar, Adam Sorensen, Barbara Stafford, Storm Tharp, Terry Toedtemeier, Molly Vidor, Nell Warren, Heather Watkins, Marie Watt, and Yamamoto Masao.
We hope you will stop by!
