25+ Portland First Thursday Events | May 2010
May 4, 2010 — PDXPIPELINE
Portland's monthly First Thursday event is only two days away and it looks like we will have good weather (60 & sunny…really…). There are over 50 (probably 100) galleries having openings this month.
We have a very large list below thanks to Sequential Art Gallery (328 NW Broadway) & Rich Vail Mackin. They compile an email called the "[h]IT LIST" of events every month. You can join it by emailing them @ sequentialart @ gmail dot com. We have reproduced much of it below with permission.

This month at Sequential Art Gallery
{328 NW Broadway #113}
Sequential Art Gallery's new show might be lacking in May flowers, but it does feature a lot of natural materials! Artist Brian Kappel works mainly in wood, either building small robots out of blocks or creating intricately inlaid large pieces of wall art. Much of his work utilizes vibrant stains and glazes instead of opaque paints, allowing the grain of his medium to show through and create rich textures within the art. The show will feature a number of these large format pieces, as well as some smaller works and design art, and opens during May's First Thursday art walk downtown.
Curated by Kaebel JK Hashitani and Merrick Monroe.

The Parlour crew has been hanging on as tightly as we could since the very beginning, but recent unfortunate developments with the property have made it impossible for us to continue as what we are. It weighs very heavily in our minds to have to notify our patrons and acts of this drastic change, but we will be unable to keep our doors open after a short while, most likely the end of May, if not sooner.
