Neighborhood Gallery Grant Awardee:
Tethered Cord
|
Tethered Cord is a 10 month Neighborhood Gallery project running from September 2015 to June 2016. Our mission is to utilize residential spaces in a 1905 inner S.E. Portland home to create unique alternative gallery experiences. The focus is on generating opportunities for emerging contemporary artists and curators to exhibit work in a non-traditional gallery setting where they can design installations that respond to the space.
