Artist talk and closing reception:
October 26th, 2011 from 6-9pm
The conversation will focus on "Abstraction in Painting" and will trace abstraction from early cave art as a form of spirituality, some of the different forms of abstraction, moving through the late twentieth century.
The influences, similarities and differences that make up the title of his talk 'Abstraction in Painting' will also be noted. Brachman will also be available to discuss his own work at that time.
My Story and Human Solutions an amazing partnership.
In the open studio gallery spaces, affecting photographs from My Story will be featured. My Story is a mobile arts organization that brings photography workshops to under represented Portland youth. My Story programs provide young people an opportunity to explore their lives through the lens of a camera, and strengthen their communities through the arts. My Story collaborates with community organizations to build programs that empower low-income and/or recently immigrated youth.
Assorted pieces in the exhibition will include pieces from a collaboration with Human Solutions. Human Solutions is the largest provider of services to homeless and low-income families in mid and East Multnomah County.
