Jason Poboyart Brown Framing are closing April 30, 2016.
RECEPTION: Saturday, April 16th 2016. 5-9pm. All ages.

Sadly, Pioneer Galleries will be closing their doors on April 30th. OUR last art show as united galleries (Peoples Art of Portland, Mark Woolley at Wonder, AIR Gallery/Fred Swan and OneDer Gallery/Jason Poboyart Brown Framing) at Pioneer Place Mall is Saturday April 16th, 5-9pm (“The Final Countdown”).

Due to future development of the spaces by investors, we are unable to continue our lease with Pioneer Place Mall. We have been open and active since 2009, hosting hundreds of shows with thousands of visitors.

We have always been “guests” in the mall, occupying empty retail spaces, supported by a generous corporate entity. We always knew the ART party at Pioneer would end someday, and we thank the mall, Bob Buchanan (Mall director, who thought of this idea), Georgia Coward (mall liaison and friend) AND all the artists, volunteers, managers, staff, family, friends and everyone that has ever supported us in these spaces. THANKS SO MUCH. We are working on a new place for our next adventures. All Love For Portland Artists, thanks for being our friends.

Portland is a city to love. How can you not love Portland?

To us, art is a huge part of what makes up Portland culture; its people, and the appreciation and LOVE for all things Portland.

"Visual Crap - The Poster Work of Voodoo Catbox:
A retrospective look at the works of Gary Houston"
RECEPTION: Saturday, November 21 – December 6 5pm- 9pm
SHOP Voodoo Catbox POSTERS>>

A retrospective look at the works of Gary Houston” This month at the Peoples Art of Portland is a retrospective of celebrated and beloved Portland based graphic artist, Gary Houston, and his long and amazing career of hundreds of original pieces, screen prints and music posters. Houston will be pulling works from his massive archive (The Houston Library), to showcase original drawings, art prints and his spanning career of notable screen printed music posters.

The World According to Gary Houston:

Portland based Gary Houston, is well known as the “Blues Fest” poster artist of Portland and for his illustration company, Voodoo Catbox. Houston’s posters are hand made using traditional methods i.e. scratch board illustration or hand cut rubylith, and then hand pulled. Since 1995, Houston has humbly operated under the moniker of Voodoo Catbox, a well known entity in the poster industry. But he is most well known as the signature artist for the Portland Blues Festival, which his unique scratch-board style has become the timeless branding of the festival since 2001. Houston calls the work he does as: hands-on, physical, creative and romantic. “It’s leaving a little bit of history,” Houston told Oregon Music News in 2009. Besides the Waterfront Blue Festival, Houston has done work locally for: Oregon Music Hall of Fame, Portland Art Museum, Crystal Ballroom (with Northwest acts like Mel Brown, The Decemberists, Robert Cray, The Dandy Warhols, Sallie Ford and Death Cab For Cutie). “Inspired by the music and musicians themselves as well as Northwest Native American art, Houston's work often contains a message and humor, but it wouldn't be rock and roll without eagles and skulls and flaming guitars,” writes Vortex magazine of Houston’s body of work.And Houston has always been a notable artist of his craft, locally and nationally, doing visual works for such national acts as: Willie Nelson, Ben Harper, Moon Alice, Steve Martin, Little Feat, Los Lobos, The Grateful Dead, Social Distortion, David Byrne, The Black Crowes, Wilco, and many many others.

"EMEK: THE THINKING MAN’S POSTER ARTIST": Saturday, September 21st from 5pm - 9pm

Featuring hundreds of new and past works, ranging from electric and glow-in-the-dark poster installations, to hand-crafted originals by this internationally acclaimed print and design artist

Online art can be viewed here: SHOP NOW>

The Peoples Art of Portland was opened in 2010. We were struggling for two things: a name for the gallery and a resident artist. Both came with one conversation with the amazing EMEK, who not only agreed to be our shining resident artist, but also helping to provide the basis for the name of the gallery.

EMEK is considered one of the most famous American poster artists alive today, part responsible for the lasting revitalization of the art form from the 1960’s tradition of music posters. His unique vision and insight to these creations spawned a new medium and collector base in the genre, and forever coined EMEK – “The Thinking Man’s Poster Artist” by musician Henry Rollins.

So far, his unique visual style has graced music posters on a diverse musical spectrum, from Blues legend B.B. King to the Beastie Boys. He has painted album covers for Neil Young and Pearl Jam as well as for many punk and alternative bands. He was invited to exhibit at the opening for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame “History of Rock Posters” exhibition and has been in national and international magazines. As you read this, his work is permanently displayed in Hard Rock Cafes. Over the last decade, EMEK’s work has been shown in galleries across the United States, in Berlin, London and Tokyo. In December, 2007, Billboard named the top 25 rock posters of all time. EMEK garnered 3 spots on the list, the most of any single artist.

This is EMEK’s 3rd annual show with the gallery, an always celebrated and magical time as hundreds of art works grace the space. We will be featuring highly sought original works; installation areas of electric poster boxes and glow in the dark/black light works, as well as a selection of rare past works and concert handbills. Our gallery slogan, “For Artists, By Artists” is represented as a whole by this generous and talented Portland transplant and we are proud to present this enormous collection of his works.

Online art can be viewed here: SHOP NOW>

The World of Chuck Sperry Sperry's art is energized by the political street art and concert posters he has prolifically created for over 25 years. His new pieces, exhibited in Portland for the first time, express the synergy of social concern and popular iconography, graffiti and detourned classical themes, political outrage and imagery drawn from the Century-long world tradition of poster-making.

Chuck Sperry lives in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco, where he’s made his particular style of rock poster designs for over 15 years. He operates Hangar 18, a silkscreen print studio, located in Oakland, California. Sperry works in San Francisco, but exhibits internationally from Athens to Argentina, Bristol to Belgrade (visited Belgrade at the invitation of The Cultural Minster of Serbia).

By conducting workshops and lectures all over the planet, Sperry’s tutelage has inspired a new generation of rock poster and silkscreen artists worldwide.

His artwork has been exhibited at leading San Francisco art institutions including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts; his prints have been archived by the Achenbach Graphics Arts Council, The Oakland Museum of California, San Francisco Public Library (Main Branch), the United States Library of Congress,and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

He has brought his rock artistry to projects for Goldenvoice, Live Nation, Virgin Megastore, Guitar Center, Random House, Harper Collins, Harvard University Press, Nylon, and Wired.

Released in early 2009, the documentary film “American Artifact” prominently features Chuck Sperry. He has been featured in documentaries for film and television in the US, Europe and Australia.

One can find his art featured in many books, most notably The Art of Modern Rock, Peace Signs, The Anti-War Movement Illustrated, and Street Art San Francisco: Mission Muralismo.

Sperry has honed the craft of designing and hand screen printing for over 15 years to become recognized throughout the world as one of the foremost rock poster artists and printmakers. Elevating the craft to fine art, Sperry creates socio-political artwork beyond rock. He adheres to the ideal that beauty strengthens his message.

(Note: Chuck Sperry will be in Portland for this show and is available for interview prior to the opening. He is a very articulate, intelligent, personable and humorous artist and is open to selective interviews, Q&A, etc. Please contact Chris or Jason to schedule an interview)

"THE ART OF PORTLANDIA": Saturday, May 18th. 5-9pm May 18th – June 9th

Our gallery slogan is “For Artists, By Artists” – and this fit perfectly last year when our gallery was asked to be the “art curators” of Season 3 for TV Show PORTLANDIA. We were honored and hit the task running. We were responsible for selecting all the back drop art used for the show for last season, working directly with the art department of Portlandia, and the script to help create a very “Portland” feel with the back scenery used…and of course, all the art was made by Portland artists.

This art show is a tribute showcase to the work of the artists from Portlandia, their art, and posters from the show from varied artists, including DKNG, Guy Burwell, EMEK, Ali Schlicting, Allison Bruns, Amy Stoner, Andy Vanoverberghe, Anna Magruder, Beth Myrick, Brenda Dunn, Brooke Weston, Cathie Joy Young, Chris Haberman, Chris Kelleher, Dan Ness, Darlene Schaper, David Wein, Emily Bates, Eric Blackburn, Fred Swan, Gary Hirsch, Heide Davis, Heidi Elise Wirz, Jeff Sheridan, Jennifer Mercede, Janet Amundson-Splidsboel, Jeremy Okai Davis, Joel Barber, John Wray, Jonathon Hill-Jacquard, Katherine Mead, Kelly Neidig, Kendra Binney, Linda Womack, Lea Barozzi, Matt Schlosky, Michael Trapp, Mona Superhero, Tamara English, Tripper Dungan, William Park, and many others.

.

Featured Poster Artists of the Month – Orange Poster Pods : Peoples Gallery features a nationally recognized poster artist each month. Fitting in with the science theme of Oregoncology, this month’s artist is New York based David Welker. His two decade long professional career has ranged from large-scale murals to posters for the legendary rock band Phish. Welker’s 1993 album cover for the band received critical acclaim and was voted as “One of The Most Iconic Album Covers Of All Time”. Welker is a traditionalist that has adopted the graphic nature of poster art, while still exploring the realm of abstraction, a quasi-literal environment, which challenges the borders of conceptual and pictorial space. As Welker puts it, “Every generation predicts its’ own doom as well as the end of art as we know it. This is one of many human proclivities that I like to reflect on and also reject.”

FOR THE LOVE OF PORTLAND #2

Peoples Art of Portland, Po Boy Art/Jason Brown, Chris Haberman and Mark Woolley Gallery presents… A Joint Gallery Show between Peoples Art of Portland Gallery and Mark Woolley Gallery, neighboring galleries that have pooled their regional artists for this annual 300 artist group show as a tribute to the concept of Love and everything Portland

How can you not love Portland? Whether a Native Portlander (like curators Mark Woolley and Chris Haberman, who actually went to the same high school) or an entrenched Oregonian transplant (like curator Jason Brown, from Idaho originally, who has embraced this City lived here for 17 years and help form its culture), the City is home, and it helps define us.

To us, art is a huge part of what makes up Portland culture; its people, and the appreciation and LOVE for all things Portland.

Chris and Jason started this Love of Portland show last year because they wanted a show that celebrated LOVE and PORTLAND – two ideas that are part of a lot of themed art, but even more local and centered on a subject we live and breathe every day. The show consists of (1) piece per artist, as tributes, bridge scenes, big bikes, big beards, roses, food carts, tattoos - and really everything that defines an artist personal connection or view of the city.

Featured Love of Portland Poster Artist: Dan Stiles Every Month, Peoples Gallery features a nationally recognized poster artist each month. This month’s artist is the acclaimed Dan Stiles. What Dan is trying to do with his design is to say as much as he can using as little as he can. He try's to pare down the idea and the form to its essence. Dan feels like visually the work is bolder that way. Posters should be bold, you're supposed to be able to see them from across the street. He also finds that once you strip off all the fluff you find out if your idea is any good or not.

After the opening you can purchase all of Dan Stiles work online here

"EMEK" Gallery Invasion... 250+ posters, handbills, art prints & OG's
FEATURED POSTER ARTIST: EMEK X

MEET THE ARTIST AT THE ART OPENING SATURDAY 9/15/12

Emek has been referred to as "The Thinking Man's Poster Artist". Coming from a unique family of 5 artists, Emek has made his mark creating special limited edition silkscreen posters for live concerts around the world. Emek’ style thrives on attention to detail, coupled with layers of meaning in the artwork. His infusion of socio-political commentary into pop culture imagery has made his work instantly recognizable in the field. Emphasizing craftsmanship, his work is mostly hand-drawn in the tradition of the classic psychedelic posters from the 1960's. Born in the 70's Emek was also strongly influenced by the DIY punk flyers of the 80’s. "I appreciate the creative freedom this medium allows me because the bands generally give me total freedom as long as I advertise the show info. I am allowed to dip into the recesses of my imagination and see what spills out onto the page. This allows me to be my own art director and I am able to experiment with different concepts and styles to keep things fresh. Today's disposable culture paves the way for tomorrows collectable nostalgia...I'm just trying to make it interesting" Over the last 2 decades, Emek has created hundreds of posters for some of the top alternative bands and events, like Radiohead, Coachella, Queens of the Stone Age, Tool, System of a Down, Jane's Addiction, The Flaming Lips, to name a few, as well as album covers from Neil Young and Pearl Jam to Henry Rollins and Erykah Badu. Emek's work has been shown in galleries across the United States, Berlin, London, Tokyo, Belgium and Canada. He has been interviewed on CNN, featured in dozens of magazines and books, including covers of Juxtapoz magazine. shop art>
