Celebration of Art 2012

I was too busy having great conversations with my customers to get to my camera to capture great crowd shots. This will have to do! 

We had a wonderfully supportive audience for the show/sale and we are most grateful to the community for joining us!

George Fendel set the mood with his fabulous jazz piano stylings and jazz guitarist, Tim Roth closed out the afternoon with his beautiful  music. 

Thank you to our fabulous member and guest artists, all the friends and family who helped us set up and take down....to the MJCC for their support, and of course...much gratitude to the community that came out to view our work and purchase art!    There will be additional member shows in the next several months.

KBOO Yiddish Hour Info

We love KBOO and we especially adore the Yiddish Hour on Sunday mornings.
They have been a strong supporter of the Jewish arts here in Portland while promoting yiddish and Jewish music on the air!

Some of can't tune in on Sunday mornings because of other commitments....so here's some really great news I just received from them:


PLEASE TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW THAT THE SHOW IS PODCAST NOW FOR TWO WEEKS AFTER AIR DATE.  WE'D LIKE TO REACH THOSE WHO CAN'T LISTEN SUNDAY MORNINGS!

This is the best way to submit calendar items for broadcast on the Yiddish Hour.  In general, we announce events that are open to the entire community and appear to have general interest.  Due to time limitations, we are not always able to announce all items, and some items may be edited for content and length.  All items must be compatible with KBOO's policies about what can be broadcast

Thanks again, 
The Portland Yiddish Hour Hosts
