Printmaking show
Streptopus Roseus by Palmarin Merges will be featured at an Elysium Gallery art show, beginning Thursday, March 11.

A wide range of printmaking media, collographs and etchings will be featured in a show by Elysium Artists and Portland Millwork, March 11-May 2, at 29600 S.W. Seely Avenue, Wilsonville.

There is an artists' reception from 5-8 p.m. Thursday, March 11, at Portland Millworks, a door and window showroom which houses the Elysium Gallery.

The show is open to the public; hours are 7 a.m.-5 p.m. weekdays, and 9 a.m.-noon Saturdays.
Curators are Lora R. Fisher, exhibitions coordinator, Print Arts Northwest, and Sue Reynolds, arts advocate, Elysium Artists.

“Who says galleries can’t work together?,” said Reynolds. “Elysium Artists has invited Print Arts Northwest, one of the longest running arts organizations in the region, to exhibit work with the Elysium Artist printmakers, Palmarin Merges, Joan Carlson and Katy McFadden.”

Elysium Artists, a relatively new addition to the Portland Art scene, advocates for artists and arts organizations nationwide.

This will be the first in a series of events where Elysium Artists invites Portland galleries to show work at the Elysium Artist Showroom in Clackamas County.

A printmaking demonstration by Barbara Mason, director of Print Arts Northwest, will be presented during the opening reception.
