July 7 Gallery Homeland Shebang

Gallery Homeland throws a launch party presentation. Homeland has a global reach, with curator-artist Paul Middendorf hitting the Euro art season hot spots and generally agitating on the behalf of Portland artists at international art fairs in the Hamptons and Miami. If you saw the art projects by the Willamette River on the esplanade last year (and in the river upon occasion) - that was Homeland's "Scratching the Surface". Tonight artists Sean Healy and Jesse Hayward discuss their experience of Portland art in the international context. Homeland will also review plans for this year's "Scratching the Surface" which will hopefully not involve the maintenance guy carting away the art just before the show thinking it refuse (which actually happened last year). After the talks, there will be plenty of time for socializing, a BBQ, drinks and a dance party. At Mark Woolley Gallery 128 NE Russell 7PM $10 (includes food! and there is something about prizes in the announcement??)
