Ahh...we had a fantastic time. The night was stormy but didn't stop us from having another great event! Vie de Boheme was the perfect place, warm and welcoming. The Art Spark crowd is amazing, coming out when they can to meet and connect with other creative minded community. Keith Lachowicz from the RACC's Public Art Department informed us of an open call for the Portable Works Collection and the newest exhibit at the Portland Building Installation Space,. Then our featured group of the evening Create Plenty brought us a fun bingo game to engage dialogue around our sustainable practices and informed us of what they are up to and how we can be involved. They have a goal of making their International Quilt Project as big as the Aids Quilt Project--I love people having grand goals, hey why not shoot for the stars! And then (boy we had a lot going on!) we were so lucky to have the melodic jazz grooves of Ben Darwish -Thank you Ben! Thank you everyone who came out to make new connections, rekindle old ones and find out about another awesome arts related organization in Portland; and just have a good time with others that think being creative is important to our lives! See you next time!

We had so much fun helping to kick-off the 8th festival of PDX Pop Now! Thank you guys for gracing Art Spark with all of your awesome energy. We had a fun PDX Pop Now! triva game to help us get to know them more. We also had two additional fantastic organizations join us, My Voice Music and Portland Radio Authority. And then there was just the fun of hanging out and mingling at a great space, Backspace! We love you all, thanks for bringing the creative community another great Art Spark time. See you soon!
