LOVERGIRL

Wednesday, November 30th, 2011

Who says nothing is ever free? Some “lucky” artist will take home this beauty. I’ll get to take home one of theirs.

It’s a brilliant thing.

2011 PORTLAND VISUAL ART EXCHANGE
Exhibit dates: December 1-8, Mon-Fri 12-4pm
Public reception and Artist trade event: December 8, 5-8pm

Over 50 participating artists will exhibit one piece of original work in a week-long, invitational show at the Littman Gallery. The exhibit will culminate in a (semi) blind art trade and public reception. Although the event is open to the public, no work is for sale and only the participating artists go home with an original piece of art by another Portland artist.

Anyone interested in participating next year?
