Gallery Openings
Twenty-five years ago, founding PADA members initiated First Thursday, a monthly art event in which galleries open new exhibitions of works by painters, sculptors, photographers and glass artists, as well as innovative conceptual works and site-specific installations. It has since become The Rose City’s most vibrant and active visual arts event, now coupled with the increasingly popular First Friday art walk.
