Portland’s monthly First Thursday event is tonight! It will be a little wet and cold compared to the coming warmness of the next three days, but you are probably used to that by now. So put on light coat and have some fun. 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). 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.
