Ugly/Beautiful: chapter 1 of our Manifesto Project



We are officially in open studio mode!



Our purpose – to create a more interactive, lively artist space in the Portland area that explores the process and philosophy of contemporary art. To allow the public to see the artistic process as an act of labor to better understand art as a business and how artists arrive at the pieces that they create. A place for our artists to create, inform, and challenge each other and to encourage the public to participate in the process; to give the art audience a place to voice their opinions about current art movements and the state of the world.

Ugly/Beautiful
As simple as it sounds – purposely broad – from people and organisms to situations and architecture. It is the ultimate in personal taste and opinion. What is beauty and what is the absence of it?

All of this will culminate with a formal show of works at the end of the studio experiment.

Come create in our world.

I love the sound of the gallery! I wanted to make it down for first friday (Jessy of OMF is my brother) but I couldn't this month. Soon!
