“Everything We Do is Music” is the theme of Gallery 114’s annual June juried exhibit. Does work exude rhythm, melody, lyrics, harmony or dissonance from a social, political or musical perspective? Does it elicit a reaction in sounds, words or movement?  Does it dance or sway?  Does it move the viewer like a song or symphony?  Does it sing? Gallery 114 invites 2D and 3D artists to respond to the theme:
Our gallery is one of the oldest art collectives on the west coast and is located in the heart of Portland, Oregon’s bustling arts playground, the Pearl District.
At Gallery 114, you can “expect the unexpected” because we are artist owned, artist run and artists unleashed.  We encourage our members as well as jury participants to take risks and explore  new and different creative efforts with underlying quality and integrity.
For this show, “Everything We Do is Music”, we turn our gallery over to innovative artists who test boundaries and dive into their sense of creative freedom.

"Paint for yourself, and true opportunities will blossom - paint for the market, and lose your true identity."

​The Multiple Sclerosis Center at the Swedish Neuroscience Institute is proud to present the 2017 Annual Swedish MS Center Art Show on July 1-2, 2017 at the Seattle Center Armory.  Over the past eight years, the Art Show has welcomed creative artworks from individuals affected by MS in the Pacific Northwest.

This show is not a fundraiser for the Swedish MS Center yet merely an opportunity to provide awareness about the disease.  I know many of the dedicated people on the MS Center team and Amy happy to contribute work to this important event.
