We at Secret Hideout Studio will be hosting our annual Art Garage Sale this weekend, Saturday and Sunday… Just a few blocks from the Belmont Street Fair!

What is an Art Garage Sale, you ask? It’s a yard sale that features original works of art by a collective of local visual artists, craftspeople, writers, and etc. for garage sale prices!
If we feel like it, we may also be putting in a variety of actual yard sale items, too. I also frequently clean out my art and craft supply storage for this event, so you can expect some fabric, art/craft supplies and wacky items as part of the mix.

If you have creative work you’d like to sell on consignment, there’s still some space left! Please get a hold of us ASAP to arrange a time to drop items off.

Please help spread the message far and wide! Thanks for your support.

Join us this Friday for art and performance by local artist, durtro James.

durtro [b08.16.59] Washington, DC. durtro [insists on lowercase for his hame] has been involved with all forms of modern art expression, from digital design and

audioscaping, digital video, metal sculpture and the painting. Painting is something that ‘durt’ loves, and he mostly uses acrylic/other materials. “it’s about beauty, it’s about colour, it’s about …something pleasant to occupy the imagination for a few seconds. if i have ‘something to say’ you will know it! but i’m stepping away from the agitation of earlier pieces to find the serenity that i am discovering as a tired old dog in a world of young bucks”.

call 503-200-7010 all pieces for sale unless otherwise noted
all prices negotiable.

We will also have the table open for our monthly art making project… Bring something you’re working on to share, or partake of our themed project. Bring a snack or a dish to share if so motivated.

We hope to see you this First Friday!

Join us this April for the show,

“Nothing Will Come Between Us”

A ONE NIGHT ONLY visual art and poetry event with local art rock star, Chris Haberman.
…
Chris’s images have made an impact on walls nearly everywhere people go in Portland, from the LOVE show at Olympic Mills Gallery, to Portland City Art, to the Goodfoot, to City Hall, to the MEAT store. He has been a veteran of the Portland open MIC poetry scene, as well as the instigator of many progressive arts events over the past few years. Check out some of the online links to his work below.

This evening’s work will feature a display of Chris’s recent visual arts work, that are based off of “poems” that he has written. He will also perform some of his selected poems live.

There will also be the usual Studio Artmaking Night and Potluck, with a twist- We will be creating a group collage based on writing a group poem! To be performed/read/interpretive danced at the end of the evening

We hope to see you for First Friday in April!

Join us in March for the Bizarro paintings and drawings of Angela Molinar.

Angie Molinar is a self taught artist from backwoods Pennsylvania with a space creature/desert landscape obsession. Working mostly in graphite and acrylic, her surreal creations are often a part of her practice of the occult and chaos magick. Much of the imagery found in her work is pulled directly from the cosmic subconscious, among other things…

All of …her earlier work can be found in publications in Bizarro fiction as an illustrator and cover artists.

To see more of her work visit

or email her at angiemolinar@gmail.com

"Stagmaiden" by Raevyn Carney

Join us in December for a cup o’ something warm, and view artwork by illustrator, Raevyn Carney.

Raevyn graduated from the California College of Arts and Crafts with a bachelor’s degree in illustration. She uses her illustration to express her interest in mythology and fairy tales, feminism, women’s spirituality and ecology, and hopes to get some of the lesser known fairy tales out into the world.

Additionally, you can start your holiday shopping early–Raevyn will be offering her prints for 1/2 price and will have original books available to buy and be signed!

View her portfolio at:

In addition we are going to go back to having Community Art-Making on the same evening. This month, for a small donation ($1 to $5 sliding scale), you can create a “dream pillow” for use as a gift or an ornament- for yourself or someone else! Materials will be provided.
