Join us for the inaugral exhibition at Congress Yard Project's S. Wildman Signpost Project Space featuring new painting by Beth Wooten, curated by Bruce Conkle. Saturday Sept 19 3-5pm

Beth Wooten statement:
I paint color focused abstractions as a way to grasp at the precarity of these times. I'm interested in color theory and the history of color, but am also distracted by and contemplating the forces at work denying us the space, resources, and focus necessary for such reflections. I've maintained a sporadic yet long term practice from charleston sc to portland or.

Mister frosty the cat checking out the five dollar Reagan era food stamp I bought off eBay that got me perma-banned from eBay on a Ramen blanket I bought at work on clearance. It’s her 3rd time at my show. That’s right 3rd time. What are you doing with your life?

“Existential Emulsifier" opens at Portland Arts Center for 1st Thursday, December 4th

"A group show exploration of Rothko concomitant visual and philosophical exigencies among artists who have called Portland home.

It is not a tribute show or any claim of hereditament, just expect surprises that reveal sonorities and important dissonances with Portland’s most culturally pertinacious son." -jeff jahn, curator

Did you know that Mark Rothko moved to Portland in 1913, and as a young boy, sold newspapers on the same block that today is home to the Portland Arts Collective?

Dec 4-27, Portland Arts Collective, 122 NW Couch

Join us for the opening reception for the artists on December 4, 2025, between 6-9pm. December 4-27, 2025
