IrisCat Designs news updates for May-June 2010

It seems like I have gone pretty quiet on the art and art-business fronts, but things are still happening under way.  As you may already know, I have started my post-graduate studies this spring and it has been keeping me busy, but that does not stop me from my creative pursuits -- rather they go hand in hand.  I am still discerning whether I should go double-major in both MDiv and MFA programs as my school will launch a brand new MFA program this fall semester.

In June I will be facilitating another open art studio as part of the annual Operation Nightwatch Portland spiritual retreat.  We are still yet to procure needed art supplies and if you can make a donation toward it I will be very happy.  Also, this year I am taking parts of this art project into the realm of the digital.  If you have extra digital cameras that we can borrow for a few days (caveat: we will be using this in forest settings, so unfortunately you would have to indemnify us in case if someone accidentally drops the camera into mud or creek... so that is why the "extra" camera, not your favourite one.) that would also be great.

[To make a contribution, go to http://www.operationnightwatch.org/donate.html.  This is a 501(c)(3) and donations are tax deductible if itemized correctly.]

May Last Thursday art clearance sale: May 27 at Radio Room, 1101 NE Alberta Street, from 5:30 to 9:45 p.m.  All items must go; they are under $25 until 7:30, then will be "pay what you can and will" thereafter.

May Last Thursday art clearance sale

This coming Thursday, May 27, 2010, I will be offering nearly all available original art for sale in order to clean out the storage space and stale creative energy, and also to raise funds to replace my bicycle that was stolen a few days ago.

I will also be offering (weather permitting) a quick portrait sketch (for a suggested donation of $5).

All items will be under $25 between 5:30 p.m. and 7 p.m., then will be "pay what you can and will" thereafter until closing around 9:45 p.m.  This is a good opportunity to add affordable works of art to your home or office.  All items must go by the end of the day, so no reasonable offer will be declined -- in fact, even a small amount will help me at this point immensely.  The recent theft of the bicycle has caused some unexpected financial strains and loss of productivity.

This will be at the parking lot of Radio Room, 1101 N.E. Alberta St. in Portland, Oregon.  As the Last Thursday is expected to be busy, I recommend using the public transit (it is hard to find a place to park even for a bicycle). TriMet lines 8 and 75 serve the area, and so does the 6 (on MLK at Alberta, about 7 blocks away).
