Well it would seem that yet another art blog has been created. The PDX Art Speak site will be used to document on a regular basis the art happenings, not only in Portland Oregon, but across the country and beyond. There are so many events, projects, and openings happening all of the time. Some have nothing to do with Portland, while others have everything to do with our fine arts community. Portland has started the ball rolling. More and more over the years, I have witnessed the fame that Portland so very much deserves. Every time I make another journey out East, it seems there is another Portland artists or gallery featured there. Every major art fair in this country has one of our finest presenting there. There are so many organizations, artists, and independent spaces that have slowly come to realize the potential Portland has. We also have some of the best promoters that we could ask for. With folks like Jeff Jahn, Kristen Kennedy, Nan Curtis, TJ Norris, Gavin Shettler, and Stephanie Snyder, how could we go wrong. I know I am leaving out a whole list of names and you all know how you are. Our local papers do there best to cover what is happening around us in the art world. Due to lack of space, time restraints, and restrictions to write about national and international events, a void is created. With the help of many of our artists and arts writers, we will help fill that void. We will do our best to keep you posted on some of the best damn events of the year, so bare with us.
