ART SPARK

Sabina Wohlfeiler writes:

Every third Thursday of the month, RACC (Regional Arts & Culture Council) hosts ART SPARK, a gathering described as “a monthly mingling of artists of all sort to meet, discuss, blather, applaud and plot the growth of arts in Portland”. Last night I decided to check it out, and was pleasantly surprised by the variety of folks representing the rich Portland art scene. Imagine a no-host cocktail/garden party with myriad possibilities for connections in the arts. I met a new graduate looking for work teaching art, a juror for the Scholastic Art Awards, a “for hire” cartoonist, gallery owners, grant recipients, a marketing and communication consultant, painters, sculptors, and an art counselor who will help you “explore your unique aesthetic”.... two entertaining hours well spent networking in the arts. July’s ART SPARK will be held on the rooftop of the Hotel Deluxe. See you there!

Thank you for the great review! I really feel you hit the nail on the head, Art Spark is a great fun event to make connections in the Portland arts community. And that Art Spark is for anyone, not an exclusive club for the young scene! And Yes! Portland's art scene is rich I am just now really getting that! Someone said something great about why Portland's art scene is so great! Follow me to twitter... @tnatoler

Thanks for this positive feedback! We love hearing that Art Spark is doing exactly what it's intended to do for artists like yourself. Hope to see you in July!

Sabina,

If you remember, you might want to announce to the group about when they are happening and where, especially if you are going. I think it would be important for members of our group to go regularly. I don't want to forget about this, which I probably will do if you don't remind me.
