Collaborative Exhibition:

In 2009 the eighth annual Collaborative Artists show will be displayed at Art In The Pearl. The goal of these collaborations is to get artists to explore new things, perhaps work in a different media or look at their work from another artist's point of view. Curated by Greg Wilbur, artists are asked to stimulate their creative energy by making work together. Fifty percent of sales from this project go to Sisters of the Road Café, a Northwest Portland Café that serves meals to people regardless of their ability to pay and also is a safe and pleasant place for people to spend time. Artists involved in this Collaborative Artists Show will be:
