On the Set

Some real Portland sightseeing courtesy of some real Portland artists

Posted by Emily on October 15th, 2007

I’ve just run across a notice for something called Portland Open Studios 2007. I wanted to pass it on here because it sounds like such a fascinating event. Apparently, on Oct. 13-14 and again on Oct. 20-21, various Portland artists are inviting people into their studios.

Studio tours I’ve heard of, but I don’t know if I’ve heard of anyone organizing anything quite like this before. If so, I unfortunately missed it.

The deal is not only do they invite you in, the artists, which include painters, sculptors, potters, photographers, etc., will also talk about what they do, and how they do it. The materials, the tools, the techniques. I just love the idea.

So if you love art, either making it or just admiring it, it seems worth a visit. And kids are free. Nice.

Have fun,

Emily
