August 25 Grab Bag Performance @ the Portland Art Center

Susan Ploetz and Khaela Maricich are wrangling a new monthly performance night. It's an opportunity for performers and artists to experiment, to take a risk, to get feedback and to have fun; it is the same for the audience, but low key like a house party. So performer or audience performer, take advantage of this!

The first evening:
Pash (Susan Ploetz)
Brace Paine (of Gossip)
M. Blash (director of upcoming movie "Lying")
Khaela Maricich (of The Blow)

Admission is $3 or free for Portland Art Center Members (you can join at the event). Included in the admission is an actual grab bag. Beer and Wine for sale.

August 31 Reed Curator Stephanie Snyder @ Seattle's Henry Art Gallery

Fron the Henry press release: "Check out the latest in art made just to the south [in Portland]. Stephanie Snyder joins special guests to discuss new activities in Portland and consider the work of Portland-based artists Kevin Abell, Dana Dart-McLean, Alex Felton, Jessica Jackson Hutchins, Kristan Kennedy, MK Guth, Storm Tharp, and others. Part of what Snyder describes as Portland's "representational imaginary" the evening will consider an intergenerational group of Portland artists that explore 'self' through experimental film, drawing, painting, sculpture and social practice. These imagined and constructed self-discoveries are often created in dialog with art history, popular culture, and an interdisciplinary media practice signature to Portland's scene."
