There are many things to like about Portland, Oregon. I get to visit my son, there are awesome gardens, interesting tours, but I love the food culture. Portland may not be where the food truck culture started but the food trucks have taken it by storm. One nice thing about a food truck caravan is that everyone can have what they like. When in Portland I like to eat out every night, if possible, trying new restaurants. My first night the weather was beautiful and most of the restaurants were booked to capacity so we headed to a food truck pod. We could all pick what we wanted from Italian to vegan to Thai. I had one of the best Thai green curry chicken dishes I have ever eaten.
Oregon City artist lands grant for solo exhibition
Tammy Jo Wilson creating more paintings for show at Chemeketa Community College.
Oregon City artist Tammy Jo Wilson received $1,500 this month from the Oregon Arts Commission to support her solo exhibition at Chemeketa Community College in Salem from Jan. 5 to Feb. 4, 2022.
Wilson said she was excited to use the grant to support the creation of new artwork for the solo show. She added that the show will mostly consist of painting completed after the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020, but that she might include the occasional pastel or older piece. I have one painting in my mind right now that I m planning to work on this week, she said.
Tammy Jo Wilson: Nonprofit group faces challenge of continuing to connect communities
Art in Oregon, a visual art nonprofit based in Oregon City has been navigating the challenges of the COVID crisis. With the widespread loss of art events and exhibitions in 2020 and into 2021, Art in Oregon faces the challenge of continuing to connect artists and communities.
Over the past year, we have been able to pivot to the virtual format when necessary and in person when possible, hosting two online exhibitions and two artist residencies since the beginning of the pandemic. Art in Oregon attributes our ability to endure to the conscientious adaptability of collaborators, patrons and artists, as well as art s ability to capture and articulate the human experience.
