Open Collage Night in Portland, Oregon, USA
A group collage experience awaits at a monthly, open collage night sponsored by the Independent Publishing Resource Centre (IPRC) in Portland, Oregon. Held the second Wednesday of the month, the event is open to experienced collagists and those who are interested in learning more about collage. The evening begins with a short slide show of collage art from around the world as a way to inspire participants. Portland collagists Leslie Harper, A.M. O’Malley and Kevin Sampsell curate the event. Some materials, like scissors, paper cutters, glue sticks, old magazines and books, are provided, but plan on bringing some of your own materials and a donation to the IPRC (if you are able).
Kevin Sampsell said about the event, “The IPRC is…an epicenter for Portland DIY creatives with a lot of space and a wonderful staff. People don’t even have to bring anything if they don’t want to. There are tubs of books and magazines and plenty of scissors and glue sticks. At the Open Collage Nights we’ve had so far, everyone has had such a good time and people have been super focused. I love that this is happening here in Portland.”
The next Open Collage Night is Wednesday, 12 November 2014 at 6PM. Find out more at the IPRC website.
