Since attendance was poor at the First Thursday opening in August, due to heavy smoke from local wildfires, we’re doing it all again in September. So mark your calendars, the reopening is on Thursday, September 3. Stop by and have a chat!

The show will be at Portland’s Curb Gallery in the Pearl District. 424 NW 12th Ave, Portland, OR 97210, through the end of September.  Opening is September 3rd, 2026, from 4 to 8 pm.
