Visual Chronicle of Portland
The Regional Arts & Culture Council (RACC) invited me to sit on their selection committee, so I've been viewing slides 2D, pdx-centric art with a bunch of lovely folks like skate/graff artist/Zeitgeist founder Paul Fujita, painter Michael Brophy, and photographer Jim Lommasson. It's pretty wild being the selection committee's token non-visual-artist; I'll be there 3 years, and hope to see more submissions from a wider selection of Portland artists. Start planning now for next year, artists & photographers. Details at racc.org.
