Sunday afternoon Concordia University put on a great reception that was well attended. Attached is the poster they used to cover all three exhibits.  I was nice to see all who came out in support. Thanks

Concordia University will feature 15 of my paintings of Portland from October 16 to December 18,2016. Please stop by if you get a chance.  Concordia University puts on a nice program for the reception.  There will also be two other featured shows at the same time:

1. Bus 75: Hidden Portland. Portland photographer Geoffery Hiller and writer Tom Vandel provided the images ad commentary for this unique look at Portland life and diversity on the TriMet bus line 75.

2. Boycott! The Art of Economic Activism

Most of the paintings can be seen on my blog: http://williampdxor.blogspot.com/

Hope to see you there.

Thanks,

William

The Alberta Street Fair was a big success. A special thanks to Mackie and Joe Clifton who had their booths next to my booth.  They brought walls for me and helped set up and tear down. Also thanks to Amber and Blossom at Michael's Art Supply for the great work they did framing my work.  I made enough to cover cost and I did get tho make a $500 donation to the Urban League of Portland from my sales.

I will be at the Alberta Street Fair Saturday August 13^th from 11 AM until 6 PM . http://albertamainst.org/whats-happening/street-fair/   Please stop by if you get a chance. I will be selling mostly paintings of Portland including the originals and some reduced sized reproductions and greeting cards. One of my goals is to raise $500 for the Portland Urban League https://ulpdx.org/
