workshop.

I am excited to announce an upcoming workshop through the Studio School at OCAC on April 16 & 17. We will have an artist talk with Karl Burkheimer about his show at Doppler PDX, continue the day by talking to gallerist Charles A. Hartman of Charles A. Hartman Fine Art, as well as explore other NW galleries, and work from Disjecta's Portland 2010 biennial exhibition with artist talks by Jenene Nagy and Corey Arnold. You can now register online. Please find the class description below:

COMMUNITY CONNECT: A PASSPORT TO PORTLAND'S ART SCENE 
Craft is community. Craft is connection. Inspired by these philosophies of OCAC, this workshop links the community of OCAC to the larger community of artists presently working in Portland. Participants have the opportunity to connect with the Portland art community, and ask questions of artists, curators, and gallerists that may normally seem unapproachable or inaccessible. This workshop begins with a Friday evening meeting and orientation for the next day’s excursion.  Saturday begins with an introduction to local artist(s) and continues with a studio visit, artist talk, gallery talk and viewing (artist change monthly – selections TBA). This weekend workshop is a wonderful chance to meet artists, see artwork in an intimate setting and gain new access to and understanding of Portland’s diverse art scene. No prerequisite. Location: TBA
Friday, April 16, 6 - 8 pm
Saturday, April 17, 11 - 4 pm
