I made my way down to the 6th Avenue Farmers Market this evening. I'm sure all you folks-about-town have already been there, buying cheese from Estrella Family Creamery and sausages from Cheryl the Pig Lady.
Though today was only the second week of the market's existence, a sure sign of its future (besides the crowds that were buying out entire stands of berries) was an artist painting a mural on the side of a building.
Jennevieve Schlemmer, a mosiac artist, was working on a scene showing a delivery truck towing a trailer full of fruits and vegetables. The mural is sponsored by the market and the 6th Avenue Merchants Association.
Schlemmer, of Tacoma, said she'd be painting the mural over the next few weeks.
The next time you're stocking up on blueberries check out Schlemmer's live art show.
Local ceramicist Christopher Mathie has been invited to show some pottery at the annual fundraising art sale "Behind the Shoji" at Portland's Japanese Garden, which opens this Saturday.
Says Mathie:
I was very excited to be asked to participate this year and created a collection of new Raku pottery for the show.
Locally, Mathie shows often at Two Vaults Gallery on S. Fawcett downtown.
"Behind the Shoji" runs through September 2. The Garden is open 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Tuesdays-Sundays, 12-7 p.m. Mondays, and the sale is free with admission, which is $8 adults, $6.25 seniors and students, $5.25 6-17 years, and free for six-and-unders. There are artist demonstrations from 1-3 p.m. most weekend afternoons through summer.
