THE [h]IT LIST • FIRST THURSDAY - OLD TOWN CHINATOWN

Bulletin:

If you have a First Thursday event to share, please e-mail marsala.one@gmail.com to be included in our monthly publications!

FIRST THURSDAY | May 2008 edition {beta}

Dare we hope that spring has sprung? Or is this yet another one of those seasonal jokes our dear Portlandia is so fond of? It may not quite be time to pack away your rain gear [is there such a thing here?], but it is definitely time to find those sunglasses. The cherry blossoms may be off the trees, but there is still plenty of art to go around!

THIS MONTH AT SEQUENTIAL ART {328 NW Broadway 113}

Wednesday Members Preview: April 30th, 7-9 pm
First Thursday Opening: May 1st, 6-10 pm

THE SWINGIN' SCARY LARRY & GAGERT SHOW!

"Swingin' Scary Larry & Gagert" is a project five years in the making from creators Devon Devereaux & Sean Hemak ("Tales of Hot Rod Horror"). SSL&G is a full on multimedia experience, bringing long forgotten favorite films back from the dead. On hand will be original art from the SSL&G graphic novel and TV show by the two creators. The duo will be hosting the classic horror film "Carnival of Souls" for the first episode of their TV show appropriately titled "The Swingin' Scary Larry & Gagert Show".

The creators will be on hand in character for the opening on May 1st 6-10 PM at Sequential Art Gallery, 328 Northwest Broadway 113, Portland, OR 97209 to sign DVDs, comics and death certificates. Special preview night April 30th 6-10 PM.

BREAKING NEWS!!!

1. PCPA {1111 SW Broadway}
"MEANWHILE..." An Exhibition of Comic Book Art featuring Stumptown Comics Fest artists
So much talent, so little space! Last month to see this awesome show, as the art comes down May 30. What are you waiting for?
2. R. PALATE {215 SW 6TH}
"CADS AND COQUETTES" paintings by Kenney Mencher; "ENTOMOLOGY 211" by Melissa J. Armstrong
If you didn't have a chance to see this show while it was at Sequential Art, here is your second chance! "Cads and Coquettes" will be gracing the walls of R. Palate for the mellifluous month of May! Showing on the opposing wall [but certainly no opposition] is "Entomology 211" by Melissa J. Armstrong, featuring larger than life paintings and drawings of our insect friends. Go now, and try the bacon wrapped dates [available without bacon for those with vegetarian sensibilities].
3. Portland Art Museum {1219 SW Park Avenue}
Community Project in collaboration with Marie Watt - 5-7 pm; for all ages
Join Museum educators and create wool blossoms to contribute to artist Marie Watt's Contemporary Northwest Art Awards installation, which explores themes of storytelling, remembrance, and the indigenous ideology of seven generations. Each hand-stitched blossom will become part of her artwork and represent the civilian lives lost in Iraq during the war, our own lost loved ones, and our stories.

PiP Gallery will be hosting 24. A show with 24 artists staying here in the gallery for 24 hours creating 24 works each that will sell at prices starting at $24.
