“Head for the Hills has created a sound that is all at once organic, precise, timeless, and brand-new,” as reported by the Missoula Independent. The acclaimed Colorado quartet has been receiving nation-wide recognition in response to their refreshing take on acoustic music.

Described as progressive acoustic/contemporary roots, H4TH produces an endearing mixture of homegrown compositions, traditional harmonies, and improvisation. Read the rest of this entry »

From our sponsors at Land Gallery:
Nikki McClure Artist Reception
Friday, November 4
6 p.m. | FREE | All Ages

Land Gallery
3925 N. Mississippi Avenue

Direct from her fabulous retrospective at The Museum of Contemporary Craft, Nikki McClure is bringing all new work to Land. Featuring pieces from her 2012 wall calendar as well as smaller, assorted work previously unseen.

Nikki was the first show ever at the Land Gallery back in October 2009, and we’re excited to welcome her back for her third show with us. Come down for an opening wine reception with the artist.

Her work is an amazing feat of craftsmanship and artistry, as she takes a single piece of black paper and using only an x-acto knife is able to tell complex stories of life, motherhood, work, friendship and community with deceptively simple cuts.

Portland’s monthly First Thursday event is tomorrow night! If the weather is anything like today, thousands will surely be out there enjoying the festivities. There are over 50 (probably 100) galleries having openings this month, with most openings taking place in the Pearl district and Old Town/China Town.

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.
