Colored Pencils promotes artists representing our vision of a New Portland.
Artists are essential to healthy communities, traditional and urban American. While we cannot say how art inspires joy and shares sorrow, Colored Pencils proves the proposition that artists inspire in dense East Portland apartment complexes, among our elegant elders, on day-labor hire sidewalks, after a troubled day at school, as much as they do in Pearl District lofts and at Portland’s amazing Art Museum.
