Fourth Annual Holocene Minigolf Art Invitational

What better way to give winter the kiss-off than to transport yourself, in your imagination, to a roadside astroturfed wonderland where your prime responsibilities boil down to placing a colored ball into a little hole with a small chrome-y stick. Bermuda shorts, Sperry topsiders (sans sock), and a little camp shirt.

Dave Selden’s Labyrinth hole

Tuesday’s the first night of The Fourth Annual Holocene Minigolf Art Invitational, February 24-25 at  PM ($8). Once again, Holocene gathers artists, designers, architects, gallery collectives who each create an approximation of a mini golf hole, interpreted refreshingly loosely. Expect “giant mushroom forests, maneuvering into a wooden tiger, and puzzling quantum physics with Schrodingers Cat…Heaven, Hell…the Willamette River…pancakes.” Best hole design gets a $1000 prize.
