Art On Broadway Gallery in Beaverton will host a reception for twelve artists from this year’s Portland Open Studios event; twelve artists whose studios are located primarily in Beaverton or the SouthWest side of the tour. The reception is planned for Thursday, October 6, from 6 to 9 p.m. to help launch the tour on October 8-9 and October 15-16. Tour guides will be available for purchase on the night of the reception. The exhibit will run through October 29.
100 artists participate in the tour
This is the first of many planned guest artist exhibits at Art On Broadway, which will celebrate its 1st Anniversary on October 9. “It’s a way of reaching out to other art groups and sharing the wonderful space we are fortunate to have as member artists of this gallery,” said Gallery Partner Donna Sanson. “Many of our current members met while participating in 2008 Portland Open Studios and began to pursue our goal of opening a fine art gallery in downtown Beaverton once the tour was over. We think we found the right spot and the right make up of artists, and we hope to be here for a very long time.”
Guest artists for this special exhibit are: Marta Farris, Patti Issacs, Carli Schulz Kruse, Katherine Mead, Chris Mooney, Kris Paul, Willy Paul, Barbara Paanakker, Selene Robinowitz, Deborah Shapiro, Bruce Ulrich, and Kitty Wallis.
Art On Broadway is located at 12570 SW Broadway Street, Beaverton, Oregon, within walking distance of the Max stop at Beaverton Round and a few doors west of the Beaverton History Center. Open Tuesday through Saturday 11:00 to 5:00. Call 503-601.3300 for information.
