Recovery Panes Healing Arts Project opens November 4th

Recovery Panes Healing Arts Project, founded by Kelly Williams, has exposed the impact of addiction through the process of encaustics. The RACC granted project has allowed Williams to use art as a cathartic rhythm to explore personal experiences, hope, & triumph. As lives are created by moments and interactions, the panels represent the change of stories when rearranged differently. Come alter the panels and add your own touch to the stories with live music featuring p:ear youth, this 1st Thursday, November 4th. Kelly Williams is a local Portland artist, who has transformed encaustic paintings into a flowing rhythm of life. Every line and gesture has been transcribed by emotion packed experiences and fleeting filled notions. Williams also holds encaustic workshops dedicated to exploring one’s own inner chaos through the layers wax. To learn more:www.recoverypanes.blogspot.com and www.kellywilliams.blogspot.com

Stakes is High

Stakes is High features the work of Roscoe Hall II with p:ear youth artists. His powerful imagery isolates the subject at hand while giving dominance to negative space, as if asking the viewer to question what is more important. Subtle details and incongruous lines create steady visual beats and rhythms, letting your eyes flow with movement following the paths of his story. Through thick and thin, harsh versus soft, loud to quiet, Hall, makes statements of lives and questions of life. DJ Non-Profit will be laying down tracks, giving a pulse to the night with great tempos and homegrown vibes. Join us this First Thursday for food, music, and art!
