    COLORED PENCILS ART AND CULTURE NIGHT

    By Tobi Kibel Piatek | February 19, 2009

    America’s immigrants have always unpacked new vitality and new possibilities. Colored Pencils Art & Culture Night is an effort to re-assert the cultural wealth of immigrants into newcomer and settled Portland.

    Mark your calendars for Friday, February 27, and join artists and performers in an evening of culture and art at the Center for Intercultural Organizing office, 700 N. Killingsworth, Portland.

    For more information and to visit the website http://www.interculturalorganizing.org/resources/enews/2009/coloredpencils.html

    The first of its kind in Portland, Colored Pencils Art & Culture Night sets the stage for a monthly open mic and art show hosted by people from Asian, African, Arab Slavic and Latino backgrounds. Once a month, for as long as art matters, contributors from three forms of artistic expression, participants of every age and from everywhere, will perform or exhibit their work for the benefit of Portland. An international variety of food will be offered, along with lots of laughter.

    The event is hosted by Colored Pencils Art and Culture and Center of Intercultural Organizing.
