Ok, hopefully it's not goodbye, and I'm not keen on throwing parties, but See You Later Gathering doesn't sound as enticing. Still, I want to say "thank you for your support" and "hope to see you soon" to everyone. So come on by this coming Friday, Jan 17 between 5 and 8ish, enjoy some snacks and drinks, and take a last look at our Miss Ave location. Feel free to bring something vegetarian to share, but only if you want to.
Test your OBOB knowledge in a fun and relaxed atmosphere! We will be playing trivia-based games featuring questions from this year’s 3-5 division OBOB reading list. Everyone is welcome to join in on the fun and get a little extra practice before the battles begin.
PDXCC is a monthly gathering where participants make and share analog correspondence in the great mail art tradition of Ray Johnson and Anna Banana: art and conversation through the mail. This uniquely democratic, DIY art form incorporates writing, drawing, collage, rubber stamps, faux postage, decorative tape, typewriters – anything goes, as long as it goes through the mail. Hang out, skill share and send the glorious results through the mail. Monthly events hosted by the Portland chapter of the Correspondence Co-op and Niko Courtelis. Basic materials will be on hand (scissors, glue sticks, envelopes’85), but you’re encouraged to bring whatever materials fuel your creative spirit. Free and open to the public, every third Tuesday of the month

This is what happens when a group of the Pacific Northwest College of Art’s finest cartoonists dive into the unknown, led by the incomparable Jonathan Hill, comics artist extraordinaire. In 2017, Unversed launched as a collection of stories that navigate unfamiliar situations and explore the growth that comes from not knowing.

Artemisa references her own Indigenous, Mexican, and Xicana roots with (often) symmetrical images of people building their lives around ends of life, ends of seasons, welcoming new life, embracing new seasons, and untapped joy.
