Exhibits

We are pleased to share with you that the The Art Institute of Portland and Portland City Art have teamed up to present the Painted Door Auction, Thursday, September 3, 2009, beginning at 6 pm in the Second Floor Open Space.

Doors created by 50+ artists during the month of August 2009, will be auctioned during this silent and live auction event. The event is free and open to the public.

The painting of the doors for this auction kicked off during a live paint event with 30 artists on the First Thursday in August, held on Davis Street in front of the College.

Thirty percent of the proceeds from the auction will benefit the College’s Creative Arts Scholarships Fund, with the artists and Portland City Art benefitting from the remaining 50 percent and 20 percent, respectively.

The show was curated by Portland City Art and includes the work from some Art Institute students.

This project grew out of the Portland Mural Show, which concluded in 2008 with a live door painting event. Subsequently the doors were auctioned off at the Olympic Mills Commerce Center, and 10% of the proceeds went to P:ear

A special process exhibit will be on display in the College gallery during the auction.

Doors open and silent auction @ 6pm
Live Auction @ 8pm

Portland Monthly

An exciting new exhibit is slated for this summer at Olympic Mills Gallery, featuring regional and national artists, including renowned guest artist Gwenn Seemel of Portland. Exhibiting alongside Seemel will be Portland regional artists Allen Schmertzler, Celeste Bergin, Susan B. Schenk, and Shelley Radovich, with other top regional artists. Several nationally exhibited artists will also contribute to this timely exhibit, including Anthony Lazorko, Jr., Tom Virgin, and Eugene Rodriguez, with works that explore issues of labor, reinvention, and the rich creative opportunities that have historically emerged in the U.S. during economic hard times.

If history is an indicator of the future, then we are currently experiencing the same fertile ground for artistic expression, collaboration, and expansion as witnessed during the 1930s. Drawing upon our rich collective history, these works will explore the relationship between the arts and labor movements and the reality that human toil is the basis of creativity.

A dual theme of “art as labor” will also be featured in this timely exhibit with works that address these questions:

How is the artist’s work reflecting the current climate of job loss, tough times, social change, and potential for reinvention? How does the artist’s work address issues of labor, making ends meet, and the effects of the economy on family and society? How are the arts uniting, inspiring, and moving us forward?

Opening Reception: Friday, July 17, 6 – 10:00 pm.
with sausages, beer, and music!!!
