First Thursday | May

We love First Thursdays for several reasons. Not only does it mean winter is officially over, but it allows us to relax and hang out with some of our favorite customers.

Big thanks to Denver for providing the soundtrack for the evening and Windmer Bro's for the complimentary beer.  

Bad dreams were kept away with dreamcatchers hand-made by our friends and featured artists Carma and Scott. Truly breathtaking.

We're doing it all over again this Thursday, June 6 from 7-9pm.

Music: Palace Fiction
Artist: Ryan McClure
Non-Profit: Dress for Success

See you all there!

First Thursday | April

It's finally Spring here in Portland, which also means it's officially First Thursday season.  For those unfamiliar with the occasion, First Thursday is an art walk located in the Pearl district held on, you guessed it, the first Thursday of every month.

This month's artist was our very own employee, Ashley Conde and her two friends, Sara Cross and Ellen Webber.  The featured photographs are a self portrait series of the individual artists depicting their personal reflections and different life stages.

If you were in attendance then your ears were lucky enough to have experienced Chris Price and Shane Alexander.
