08:00 PM : Art Fair Affair @ the Jupiter Hotel Motel

Party (Launch/B-Day/Etc.) Flyered by Rob W.

Fairs are the latest thing. Miami, the Hamptons, Santa Fe, Shanghi, Havana, Milano, Basel. Freed from the social formalities of the auction circuit, they assume each city's particular cultural admixture of socializing, partying, networking, oh, and art. This one has been crafted by organizers Stewart Horodner and Laurel Gitlen to bring select out of town galleries, some Portland ones, a lot of art, Portland artists and you together in one sweet mix.

There is a charge to wander the hotel's rooms, each dedicated to a gallery. It's a great opportunity though to see what is being made in the world, maybe you can see a place for your own work to fit in.
