Pop of Art
Moving into a new studio has been such a refreshing change. New neighborhood, new restaurants, and new walls to fill. The interior space is coming together quite well so far! We’ve kept our walls fairly minimal (save a gorgeous early sixties inspired green here and there named Motheland). Yesterday, we added a vibrant encaustic piece to the minimal art on our walls. Meet the swordfighters – aren’t they lovely! Just the perfect combination of orange and green to compliment our walls (and I hear there are a handful of paintings still available from this sale).
Thanks for Stopping In (and Photos)
Thanks to everyone who came out and helped us celebrate our move to Milepost 5. We had a fabulous time with friends new and old. And, thanks to Amy Ruppel for sending over some of her photos of the event (more images are up on Needmore’s Facebook page). The last picture is the newest member of our studio – darling little Darwin.
Party
New Studio and Celebration
Needmore Designs is moving on down the road – to the bustling artistic community at Milepost 5. It’s a project by Beam – the developers of the last building we worked in – and it’s lovely. Very modern. Very suited to our style. We’ll be writing more about this space in the next few days.
So, effective immediately, our new address is:
900 NE 81st Avenue, Suite 102
Portland, Oregon 97213
To celebrate, we’re opening our doors on Saturday, June 12th from 5pm to 8pm. We’ll have lots of snacks, bubbly and, of course, cupcakes on hand. Stop in and celebrate with us! And, if you are on Facebook, let us know you are coming. Our party will coincide with the closing reception of our dear friend Amy Ruppel’s Mean Birds II: The Extinction art show. If you haven’t seen this series yet, it is a good thing you are coming to our party!
