4/16,17 Community Connect: A Passport to Portland’s Art Scene

Craft is community. Craft is connection. Inspired by these philosophies of OCAC, this workshop links the community of OCAC to the larger community of artists presently working in Portland. Participants have the opportunity to connect with the Portland art community and ask questions of artists, curators, and gallerists that may normally seem unapproachable or inaccessible. This workshop begins with a Friday evening meeting and orientation for the next day’s excursion. Saturday begins with an introduction to local artist(s) and continues with a studio visit, artist talk, gallery talk and viewing (artists change monthly – selections TBA). This weekend workshop is a wonderful chance to meet artists, see artwork in an intimate setting and gain new access to and understanding of Portland’s diverse art scene. No prerequisite. Location: Fibers Classroom Friday, Off-campus Saturday.  FRI 6:00-8:00PM & SAT 11:00AM-:400PM
