PICA holds its annual printmaking fundraiser. It's especially fun for the artists making prints, some who have never done so, to get their hands dirty with plenty of very experienced printmakers. Most, if not all, are monoprints, one of a kind. www.flickr.com/photos/pica/sets/72157628903015317/with/6715797407/ It's in the PICA offices this year. 415 SW 10th 6:30PM-8:30 Free
The Peoples Art of Portland is one of Portland's largest art dealers. With low prices, they make it up in volume. Their margins are the same as commercial galleries, but their costs are lower. Every year, they hold their Big 300 sale, over 350 artists, each making 10 8"x8" works on plywood panels, and all sold for $40 each. Usually about 80% are sold, so you can do the math. Cash or credit, take the work off the wall and home for instant gratification. A can of food for the food bank is requested.
