Adrift Aloft is a project in this garage gallery by Nowhere, a Portland art collective. You know them by their travel trailer gallery that's been seen at many art events around town. They have also been residents at the Center for Land Use Interpretation. Given our unique position on the less settled left coast, where there is more land than people, they have a rich vein of inspiration to tap. Personally, I would like to see more art on the land and art inspired by land coming out of Portland. At Appendix Project Space. On the alley between 26th and 27th, South of Alberta. www.appendixspace.com Map 6-10ish Free

Ampersand specializes in vintage things of paper. This month they hew to a Halloween theme with a show of morgue photographs from the 1930's. Not sure if it is the best of strategies to keep your eyes closed for this show, or keep them open all night after seeing it.
