ART, ART & MORE ART!

Just opened in S.W. Portland's North Park Blocks is the DeSoto Project, an art complex featuring dozens of artworks in the five galleries located in the newly remodeled building. Located there are Augen Gallery, Blue Sky Gallery, Froelick Gallery, Charles Hartman Fine Art and the Museum of Contemporary Craft.

The developer of the DeSoto Project calls the building "an art hub for galleries and nonprofits." The Project is a business condominium, so the art businesses there have the security of ownership of their space in a prime area, right next to the Pearl District and Old Town. The galleries won't face rent escalation because there's no rents.

If you're interested in visiting the galleries in the DeSoto Project, plan on going from noon to 5:00 p.m., when they're all open to the public.

Best of all, if you're staying at The Fulton House, it's easy to get to the DeDoto Project because we too are located in S.W. Portland. Drive there in less than 15 minutes or take public transportation, picking up a bus a half-block from us.

Art rules!
