I just want to take this opportunity to say that, if you live in the Portland area, and you aren’t already involved in the wonderful work that SPACE Gallery does — volunteer! Since moving to Portland, SPACE has been like a home-away-from-home for me, and really helped me to feel involved in the artistic community here. I have seen all kinds of crazy stuff, learned so much, and enjoyed every second of it!
