SWEET LIVE MUSIC WILL FILL THE ROOM!

•Borrowing from the Haggadah....Why is this Art Sale different from all other sales in the whole year?


• Our sale is housed in the elegant ballroom of Mittleman Jewish Community Center
• LOCAL ARTISTS creating secular and Judaic art
• live demo of portrait painitng
• Booths are comfortably spaced so customers can move about easily without that crowded feel
• Our artists remain in their booths, available to YOU. The great romance of owning art purchased directly from the artist....is that you recall the experience of the purchase!

• sweet LIVE music will fill the room!

••• George in the morning GEORGE FENDEL, Jazz Pianist and DJ ...

-

Year after year George Fendel comes to our Art Shows , sits down at the piano and delights us all with his amazing piano playing talents. He is also a popular DJ at KMHD radio....where he not only plays some of the best jazz you'll heart on the radio, but he also teaches (not preaches) while on the air. Listening to George means you'll get a first class education about jazz music. Tune in on Sundays between 2-6pm at 89.1 FM

•••TIM IN PM- TIM ROTH, Jazz Guitarist and Teacher

This year, we had another remarkable jazz musician fill the ballroom with some amazing guitar licks from none other than Tim Roth.

Tim Roth has been teaching guitar at Multnomah Art Center since 1996. He taught guitar at the Central Community School of the Arts in Arizona and at Portland Community College. He holds a Bachelors in Music from Portland State University, with graduate studies under local guitar great Jerry Hahn. His main focus is jazz guitar.

Do you have a special event or occasion? Tim's music will be perfect. Check him out at this website to hear/see a sample of his work: http://www.wattsfilms.com/timroth

ELLEN SHEFI- Paintography

Inhale deeply before you enter the sanctuary of color contained within Ellen's booth.

Ellen has a remarkable eye and her skill in this relatively new medium is evident. A field of flowers is so fabulously real, you will expect to smell them! You can almost hear the footsteps of pedestrians walking down cobblestone streets of an ancient city!

Paintograpy is the art resulting from combining digital photography and digital paining. When Ellen is practicing her craft, the results are simply stunning.

To see more of her work you could go to: http://northwestjewishartists.org/eshefi.html

but you will be more fulfilled if you visit Ellen's booth at the Celebration of Art '11 on October 30th . Join us for a remarkable day of art! MJCC 6651 SW Capitol Hwy. Portland 10:30-4:30 pm!

Barbara Berger- illuminating photography!

With autumn , the light changes. We spend more hours in the dark. The weather shifts and we add layers to our clothing.

Barbara's photography illuminates and warms us. Both a writer and a photographer, Barbara has a way of showing the viewer a story within the every day experience of life.

This will be Barbara's third sale with ORA. Come visit her booth and check out her photos. Buy one or two, while you are at it!...And ask her about her writing! She spins a mean yarn!
