EMILY COUNTS AT CARL & SLOAN / IMAGES

So blown away by gallery artist Emily Counts' new work currently on view at North Portland friends and gallery Carl & Sloan. Through the generous support of a grant from the Regional Arts & Culture Council, Counts was able to realize her ideas on an impressive scale. We were thrilled to experience these new pieces in person during the reception and we hope you will, too. Carl & Sloan is open on Sundays from 12—5 p.m. and by appointment. The exhibition is on view through April 17, 2016. Congratulations to Emily, Ashley, and Calvin on making such magic happen!

JON RAYMOND TONIGHT AT PUBLICATION STUDIO

Past Nationale reader, Merchant-in-Residence, and beloved Portland author, Jon Raymond is releasing THE COMMUNITY: Writings About Art In and Around Portland 1997-2016 tonight at Publication Studio. This is a project dear to our hearts as I had a couple great conversations with Jon this past fall about him getting started on this monumental task and Gabi ended up helping him assemble the project. If you've read any of her fantastic artists interviews, you probably want her to write a book of her own next!
