In last months blog post I touched on the fact that after ten years one of Portland's most beloved All-Ages venues will be shutting its doors in March. Not only was it a venue to showcase both local and national musicians, but also a place for artists to live and share their work.

To celebrate the bittersweet closing of the Artistery they've booked a stellar schedule of shows for the week of March 4th - 12th. There are too many to list in this blog so I recommend that you visit their site.

While the challenge of running a venue is a monumental task I hope that everyone involved in the Artistery and especially Aaron Shepherd continue to share and facilitate art and music in the future. Thank you.
