Last night was an amazing experience. The opening reception at the Peace House was filled with so much. Artists found one another and connected through shared experiences. Friends, families and community members looked at powerful artwork together. Writings honoring loss and ritual were spoken. Music and song of celebration and pain filled the room.
The Peace House, a private residence, graciously opened up their beautiful home for this exhibit. The house was a place where people could see powerful artwork in a setting that was comforting and real. I cannot thank the residents of the Peace House enough.
The show is still up at the Peace House today only.
Saturday, May 12th from 10:00-6:00 pm.
If you have a moment, please stop by and take a look.
The Peace House
2116 NE 18th Avenue
Portland, Oregon
If you are unable to see the show this weekend, it will be up the month of July at Marylhurst University. Details to follow.
Thank You to the artists, the volunteers who helped hang the show, the friends and family who donated time and energy in helping put this show together, to Pat and everyone at the Peace House, for all they have done to welcome the show into their home.
Thank you.
Kristen
