SATURDAY night at Portland's new Sandbox studios; photography, food, and artists.
Tomorrow night a grand event is kicking off the introduction of a new 
photo studio called Sandbox. In conjunction with Photo Lucinda, and Slideluck Potshow, the community is invited to participate in a large potluck and multi-media presentation of both local and national work by fantastic photographers and artists.
This event is a great example of how Portland is becoming known for its creative talent. Sandbox has two other studios, one in New York and another in San Francisco. The Portland location is a whopping 13,000 square feet and it opened for business, with its first client, just this week.
NYC-based Slideluck Potshow is an arts non-profit, operating globally in most every major city you can think of. It is mostly run by Casey Kelbaugh and Alys Kenny along with the many volunteers and members who believe in the power of bringing people together around food and art. SLPS makes creative photography accessible and offers a relaxed experience in an otherwise more controlled environment. You can learn more about SLPS here.
Lastly Photo Lucinda is Portland's annual week-long Spring celebration of international photography. It is a gathering to promote dialog and offer portfolio reviews to mid-career and emerging photographers. It is a hefty price, but perhaps it can help an ambitious foot into a door otherwise closed.
Really, you need to go to this event. (and its only a $5 suggested donation)
