the art critic writes about Portland Open Studios

Our local art critic for the big paper wrote about us. It's a tricky truth. and not completely true, because many of the member artists are quite successful. But then, they don't always participate year after year. So, it's true- he called us out- we are working artists doing what no-one else is doing for us.

And apparently we're kicking tail this year! One week till go time, and sales of the tour guide are higher than expected. Typically we sell the most this upcoming week, of course, as all the ads are printed and the articles published right about now. Other than the unexpected gift from the critic, there is another article in the Oregonian, and two that I can link to here, plus one in every little paper I could find. ads on the air of a popular radio station that decided to sponsor us- sweet!- and maybe some bloggers will announce us too. It's all very exciting for me to see tangibly the results of my hard work this year. We'll see what happens when the good people arrive at the carriage house doors...
