the Wurstminster Dog Show
January 30, 2007 at 2:36 pm | Posted in art and craft, crafty events, oregon | 2 CommentsI got back from two days at the CHA show late last night, which was amazing, but thoroughly exhausting. I’ll post my pictures, some favorite finds, and a mini-review of the Martha Stewart keynote presentation tomorrow… but in the meantime, mark your calendars! There’s a super cool one-night only art event this Saturday night, February 3, in Portland, the Wurstminster Dog Show.
Over a hundred artists (including Jill Bliss, Susie Ghahremeni, Amy Ruppel, Kara Yanagawa, and Ryan Berkley) are showing work in all mediums — each representing one of over a hundred different dog breeds. After the opening, all of the pieces will be available online at the Wurst Gallery site, as a benefit for Dove Lewis Animal Hospital in Portland.
If you have a chance to check it out, I’d love to hear about it! And I can’t wait to see pictures, since attendees are encouraged to dress as their favorite dog.
If you go:
The Wurstminster Dog Show
Saturday, February 3 from 6-10 pm

can’t wait to hear about the show, and your brush with Martha (well, you were in the same room, right?). and that Wurstminster Dog Show sounds AMAZING- what cool people must run the Wurst Gallery (the i heart gocco show was such a brilliant idea too!)

I loved the I heart gocco show too! Wasn’t it the coolest mix of pieces?
And I just wrote up the CHA recap including the Martha speech! I was seventh row center, which was pretty cool — the ballroom was huge, and jampacked with people, so I had a great seat, relatively speaking. So yes, we were in the same immense, cavernous room — really exciting for a megafan like me…
