Art Inside

Last week sometime I wrote about outside art in Portland. Above are a few examples of inside art in Portland. This is 1st Thursday in the Pearl. The first picture was taken at Everett Street Automotive. This is a car repair shop that was so clean you could have done surgery inside. They had VERY large pieces of art hanging from the ceiling. They also had a local pottery artist set up who was selling sets of dishes and single items. They were very cool but also pretty darn big. The pottery girl was also getting people to sign up for pottery classes that she does out of her home.
The two collages are actually in the bathroom of a restaurant. I don't know if they were created by the restaurant owner or random people but the collages literally covered every wall in the women's bathroom.
The next picture is a coffee shop called Backspace. It is one block from where the cow works - he pops in there for a cup of coffee quite often. Backspace hangs art from local artists for one month. The items on display in this picture are tiny. Most of them are about 1" by 1". They were intricate and amazing. Most of them were paintings and I couldn't figure out how someone paints on such a tiny surface.
The last picture is of a box office where there was a film noir series running. Inside art and warm too!
