Monotype Party Comes to OSA!

OSA MONOTYPE PARTY- FUND RAISER
An invitation from Scott Gellatly and Aimee Erickson on behalf of the Oregon Society of Artists.

Greetings Oregon painters!

Since 1926 the Oregon Society of Artists has been promoting the artistic and professional interests of its members as well as providing visual arts programs to the public. OSA’s mission includes nurturing and promoting Oregon artists by providing exhibit opportunities, educational programing, and art related projects in our Portland community.  OSA has been in its current location, off SW Vista below Washington Park, since 1953; the building was a "do-it-ourselves" project funded by rummage sales and built by volunteers.

Our first annual OSA Monotype Party- Fund Raiser was conceived as a fund raiser that continues to build and strengthen the organization’s tradition as a center for Oregon’s artistic community.  This 2-day event consists of a demonstration day, followed by a second day of three create-you- own-monotype sessions (two presses/ three session options) and an evening reception and sale.  This is an excellent opportunity for participants to engage with other artists, create art, build community, and raise funds for OSA.

Monotype
is a natural extension from painting to printmaking – it is the most painterly method among of printmaking and is often called “the painterly print.”
