HOLDING Contemporary presents exhibitions and programs by emerging and established visual artists across disciplines. Through a deliberate curatorial vision and a strategic business model, we position ourselves towards challenging the economical and social privilege of the art world.
p:ear Gallery showcases the artworks of the young talented artists in p:ear's youth rehabilitation program. It also highlights works of gifted local artists as well. Open only on the first Thursday of every month, this gallery offers a platform to these young talents. They also get to earn from a sale of their work. Drop in to check their exhibits and buy an artwork to help a good cause.
Atelier Meridian is a working fine art print studio and artist community at River Street Studios, right on the Willamette River, just North of the Broadway Bridge. It's a spacious art studio with 24 hour access to the presses for members, and goodwill to artists and the curious who drop in for the occasional workshop, monotype session, or cup of tea. We have two big Takach etching presses, a Kelsey Tabletop Letterpress, vacuum exposure unit, and all those other rollers, brayers, rosin boxes, and smushers helpful for pulling woodcuts, collagraphs, and etchings (there's acid), solar plates, screen prints, letterpress and monotypes. To create prints, we employ the use of as many fume-free techniques as we can, leading to a safe environment with excellent air quality. Anchored among the worktables is master printer and co-founder Jane Pagliarulo, and occasionally Barbara Mason, bringing years of experience to help you achieve your artistic vision or edition of fine art, hand pulled prints.
