Working professional artists’ cooperative in Portland, Oregon
The Working Artists Network is being reorganized this fall as a cooperative, and is recruiting members from all disciplines and genres of art. Members come from performing arts, fine arts, commercial arts, music, literary arts, etc., and there is a plan for also establishing a genre-specific subgroup within the co-op.
Members receive many useful and valuable benefits, such as health care discount plan, workshops and preferred professional service discounts, as well as a powerful voice to promote their art to the Portland city hall and to the world (through its export program).
The co-op’s three-tiered membership starts at only $5 a month. To learn more about this exciting opportunity see http://workingartistsnetwork.com/. Mention that Sarah Morrigan sent you when joining.

You are invited to an art fair this weekend.
The Episcopal Church has been in recent years very supportive of arts. Long before the emergent church movement rediscovered the value of arts in spirituality and communal worship, many Anglican parishes established art programs to connect children to art in the context of spiritual formation, to provide forum for emerging artists, and to better incorporate fine arts, music and performance arts in the life of the church.
In this spirit, Portland’s Trinity Episcopal Cathedral (147 NW 19th Avenue) will be host to its ninth annual art festival. This year the show features over 95 artists.
This is also a good opportunity to personally meet many local artists and artisan crafters including Sarah.

Saturday-Sunday, May 9-10.
