There are many fine events tonight, and but this is a top pick for art-lovers. Chris Haberman is one of Portland's most interesting artists and this show is sure to pull out a lot of great people. Plus, I don't think he has ever done a recreation show like this.

From Chris Haberman:

Dear Special Art Friend:

Please join me at Launchpad Gallery this Friday, April 3rd – 6pm – MIDNIGHT.  This is my first show at this regional gallery, which I have been a patron and friend of since its early beginnings.  Curator Ben Pink and I recently ran the Portland LOVE Show together, so this show is very special to me.

Get ready for a DIY explosion at The Museum of Contemporary Craft! Friday night starts off four showings of the recently released documentary Handmade Nation by Faythe Levine. As of this writing three of the four screenings are sold out so if you are interested in seeing this film that brings light into the strengths of the national craft movement follow this link to the Museum of Contemporary Craft and purchase tickets to the Sunday matinee.

The 65-minute movie is the result of over 80 interviews in 15 different states, including the NW's own art star favorite Nikki McClure. The film also shows interviews with Milwaukee, WI based husband and wife illustration team Little Friends of Printmaking, Seattle, WA based fiber artist Mandy Greer, and the Providence, RI based Dirt Palace, to name a few.

Handmade Nation is an addition to the previously published book by the same title authored by both Faythe Levine and Cortney Heimerl.
