We Have Arrived

You know you've arrived when the press does a story about you, without you sending them a press release! So here we are, with a story about our recent Celebration of Art in the most recent issue of The Jewish Review. We even got a color picture! It's a nice story, and it mentions quite a few of the artists who participated in our Art Show.

A Joy to Behold

We're in the Jewish Review again! Our very own Laura Joy Fendel is featured in this week's edition of the Portland Jewish paper. A lovely article, written by ORA member Julie Hockley, highlights Laura Joy and her magnificent fabric artworks.

Laura, an accomplished teacher and published author, is now enjoying a second career as an interior designer and fiber artist. Her works are alive with vibrance and creativity.

You can read the article online, or check out page 15 of the actual paper to read about Laura Joy, and see her smiling face!

Of course Laura's beautiful and unique fabric vases, mosaics, and more will be featured in our Celebration of Art on Sunday, October 25th at Mittleman JCC. Come and experience the Joy!

Review the Review

Check out this week's Jewish Review for a great article about our very own Rosana Berdichevsky! It's a nice piece about Rosana's journey through life and art, and the quest to hold on to your artistic longings despite the challenges of life. Sabina Wohlfeiler did a lovely job writing this one.

We hope to have a number of our artists featured in the Review during the coming months, leading up to our Celebration of Art on October 25th. It's great to get this support from our local Jewish paper!

Celebration of Art!

Look Ma - We're Famous!

We've got a lovely article in this week's Jewish Review, all about our upcoming Celebration of Art, and the journey which has led us to holding it at the Mittleman Jewish Community Center. The Review was very generous with their space for us this year, and even included 4 color pictures! We're tickled pink - and blue and green and yellow and....

Sabina Wohlfeiler did a great job of making the contact with the Jewish Review, getting them the information, and following up to make sure everything worked out. Kudos Sabina! And thanks to Paul Haist at the Review for guiding the process along to fruition. This means a lot to us! We're also very grateful to a certain journalist who helped us get this article started. Not sure if he wants his name listed, so for now I'll just wink and say thank you!

To see the whole article, check this week's Jewish Review (the High Holidays edition), or read it online at:

Note: Several artists' names were accidentally cut off in the printed version of the paper. But they are all included in both of these online versions.
