This year the Preview Show is going to be a party! Each Open Studio artist will bring one piece of art to be displayed here for sale. And it really is a party — there will be a DJ, a wine bar (wine available for purchase), free food and non-alcoholic beverages, and a beautifully hung gallery exhibit with diverse art pieces by this year’s participants. You’ll be able to see the work of artists participating in 2025 Open Studios ahead of time. September 27 is a Saturday evening and everyone is invited, please plan to come.
October 2025: Portland Open Studios 2025 — 2 weekends
October 11–12, and October 18–19
I was juried into Portland Open Studios this year! I participated in 2021 and really enjoyed it, I hope we luck out with weather again this year. I will set up outdoors, at least mostly. I’ll have a couple easels up so visitors can try painting with pastels and various papers, with me there to show the ropes. I will also have paintings displayed (and for sale) as well as greeting cards and probably some other items.
