New Location and Artists

A lot has been happening in Artistic Portland this Spring! 

First and foremost, our store is moving from our location on Sandy Blvd. to a larger space Downtown. It was a very difficult decision.  We have loved our neighbors and customers in the Hollywood District, and we are excited to be able to grow our number of artists in this bigger space and to take advantage of the increased foot traffic that comes with being Downtown. We are happy to announce that we will open our doors at 318 SW Taylor Street on June 1st. For those who have an eye on a certain something in our store on Sandy, please stop by before May 14th when we close our doors there. 

In the meantime, Co-op members have been hard at work getting the Downtown space ready.

As I mentioned before, the move means we will have more room to accommodate more artists.  We have welcomed quite a few new members in the past few months to our Co-op.  Check out some of the new makers and shakers that have joined (click on the picture to find out more about each artist).
