Sunday’s grand opening at the DeSoto building
Jul 22nd, 2007 by Brad
Sunday, 22-Jul 2007, was the DeSoto building public grand opening. It is the building on the North Park Blocks between Couch & Davis. Participating spaces include: Froelick Gallery, Augen Gallery, Portland’s Museum of Contemporary Craft, Blue Sky Gallery (and Nine Gallery), and Hartman Fine Art.
Portland’s Museum of Contemporary Craft has a huge space. While looking around I ran into a good friend of mine, Eric Franklin, who works there. I know Eric and the rest of the crew worked very hard to create & design this space. Eric is a wonderful artist who is now represented by Laura Russo (805 NW 21st, Portland OR).
The next image is a look at the back room at Blue Sky Gallery. As a reminder, I have

The next two images are from Augen Gallery
Charles Froelick has, I think, my favorite space in the building. The next two images are from Froelick Gallery.
As part of the celebration, Portland’s Museum of Contemporary Craft raffled a car that Tom Cramer painted on site, but that story is for the next entry…
