This year’s Art Hop is already well on its way to being the best event yet! In its tenth year, Art Hop offers our neighborhood and the city of Portland art exhibits, youth events, a community parade, craft marketplace, and entertainment stages. All of which have been important elements bringing people together and attracting visitors from both inside and outside the community with many coming back year after year.
Art on Alberta (http://www.artonalberta.org) has been working and collaborating with partners on this major project since summer 2007, and many businesses and community members are excited to be involved. Exhibition space for Thelma Johnson Streat’s work has already been secured at four NE Alberta Street established venues: Guardino Gallery, Grow Gallery, Talisman, and Ampersand.
Aside from showcasing Streat’s original work and other visual art throughout the neighborhood venues, vendor booths, children’s areas, music, dance and other performance art, and the beloved parade will be happening throughout the day.
This is where YOU come in to the picture: Art on Alberta needs volunteers for all of these areas and more - like event patrolling, set up, break down, recycling, gallery and vendor monitoring - on event day, Saturday, May 16th. The event lasts 11 A.M. to 6 P.M., and shorter (or longer!) volunteer shifts for each area are available. Please contact: for more details on how you can get involved.
Hosting a major art event such as Art Hop challenges our members, animates and inspires artists, unifies the business community, and builds Alberta Street’s reputation as an exciting place for art in the Portland metropolitan area. Join us in May – and volunteer for your neighborhood!

Come out of your winter hibernation and help the children at the Children’s Relief Nursery in downtown St. John’s by doing what you enjoy most - making art. Children’s Relief Nursery -  http://www.crn4kids.org - provides child-abuse prevention and family support services at no cost to high-risk families in the North community.  Children’s Relief Nursery is having their Annual Portland Iron Chef Auction in 3 weeks and they have asked me to gather some artists willing to provide 2 - 4 hours of time to create an “art experience” for 1-4 adults sometime between April 2009 and April 2010.
Supporters will be bidding on these “Artist-Experiences” to raise money for the educational programs at the Children’s Relief Nursery in St. John’s .  They will be interested in the high-quality of artistic endeavors of the OCAC community. 
As an Artist Volunteer you would:
*  Create an experience of art-making in your studio or perhaps out in the community that is 2-4 hours in length.  Consider teaming up with a fellow artist!
*  Specify the number of Patrons that you can accommodate; I am suggesting 1 - 4 Patrons, depending on your studio size.
*  Have a conversation with the patron purchasing your “experience” in order to customize the experience based on their level of experience or interest.  (The art patron will contact you)
*  Provide your time and instruction ( use of recycled materials encouraged) and work directly with the patron(s) to create an object of art.
*  Enjoy the experience of introducing your love of creativity and art-making to a future-patron. (Don’t be surprised if they purchase your art once they see it!)  This is a marketing opportunity for YOU also.
*  Your artistic experience is valid for 1 year and and scheduled at a time that is mutually convenient for both artist and patron.
* Add this teaching experience to your resume!
* Provide Artist Statement and Bio and an image of your work to Children’s Relief Nursery, along with a brief description of your art experience: 

Children’s Relief Nursery will:
* Market your experience at their 2009 Iron Chef Auction, considered one of the most creative charity events in the country. 
*  Provide a materials budget of $10.00/patron
*  Provide the artist with a tax deductible receipt that shows the # hours of donated time

Examples of OCAC artists who will be participating in this project:
Judilee Fitzhugh -  Screen Printing ( up to 4 patrons)  for 4 hours
Cyndi Strid -  Mixed Media Painting ( 2 patrons) for 4 hours

My name is Dena Nickerson and I am looking to find an art student who might be interested in helping me fine tune a logo for my business.
I already have the main premise but need detail added and I am not a very creative person.  I do, however, know what I want it to look like.
I am hoping to find someone who might have a special interest in Urban styling i.e. Hip Hop culture and is in tune to what is going on amongst the 16-30 year old set.
I am willing to discuss an hourly wage and am flexible with hours that I can meet.
If interested, please call me, Dena @ (503)888-7407 before 8:00 pm.
Thank you
Dena
