Portland Art Show Opening, First Thursday, November 5th, 2009 starts at 5:30pm (Show closes Nov. 30, 2009)
Backspace – 115 NW 5th Ave., Portland, Oregon

To help celebrate Willamette Week’s 35th anniversary, WW asked some of Portland’s hottest emerging and iconic artists to turn their newspaper covers into new pieces of art in their own unique styles. They got the idea from local artist Klutch (Vinyl Killers), whose “remixed” WW covers caught their eye and inspired them to invite other artists to try their hand at using, well, us, as a medium. Trashed @ 35 features Klutch’s work, as well as WW-inspired art by Brett Superstar, Dan Gilsdorf, J. Shea, Alexis Mollomo, Josh Arseneau, Chris Haberman, Tripper Dungan, Pedro Dorsey, Jason Graham, Lydia Crumbley, Eve Lake and Tom Cramer among others. Come meet the artists, check out their kick-ass work, and toast WW at the crusty old age of 35 at the show’s First Thursday opening.
Willamette Week Newspaper Box was done by Portland artist Klutch for the art show.
