“Rad Hatter” invites Portland to check out the new Tender Loving Empire gallery-shop-etcetera space downtown… and invited some 40 local artists to transform trucker hats into wearable art. Folks like Mona Superhero and Chris Haberman are making hats; all will be priced under $50.
Plazm editor Tiffany Lee Brown has a piece in the show: a wearable, portable, personal gallery. “FAA: Fully Autonomous Art gallery” comes pre-loaded with a group show of miniature artworks by Gary Wiseman, Mildred Galore, Clare Carpenter, Stacey Tigner Loy, and Christine Toth, and a show catalog by Allison Dubinsky.
If you try out Tiffany’s hat, be sure to turn on and position the studio lights. And should you decide to purchase it, proceeds will benefit New Oregon Arts & Letters, the nonprofit organization now publishing Plazm magazine and this fine blog.
