Where Spark, Fire

Art Spark

Let’s talk. Do we have to enumerate for you the ten-thousand reasons that you—artist, gallerist, critic, performer, collector—should be at Art Spark this Thursday? Bracing conversation, reconnecting with wayward compatriots, access/introductions to gatekeepers and/or smashing talent, news of opportunities. AND, Art Spark guest host last time ’round, Commissioner Sam Adams, reminded the assembled that we all play a role in ensuring the vitality of PDX arts/culture so we ought to get to know one another, non? Find collaborative possibilities? A little advocacy, anyone?

“We the people, in order to form a more perfect….”

Oh, and speaking of more perfect things, good news keeps coming for PNCA. This week’s Art Spark guest host is PNCA’s Tom Manley who will get 6 minutes at 6 PM to modestly boast (oxymoron alert!) about the school’s program, the million dollar gifts, the purchase of the current building, the new building, and more that are making this PNCA’s Moment.

Art Spark is RACC’s baby and goes down every third from 5-7 PM at Living Room Theaters’ Lounge (SW 10th and Stark).
