📣 Spotlight on a current exhibition!!
Please welcome Elbow Room to the Hoffman Gallery! Open to the public Mondays from 10 AM-3 PM.
✏️Their statement taken from the Lewis & Clark website reads here:
Elbow Room is a community art studio and gallery in SE Portland focused on providing material support, mentorship, and meaningful exhibition and collaboration opportunities for artists with intellectual and developmental disabilities. In our work, we center the individual interests, needs, and goals of the artists we support, and maintain an inclusive space for artists to develop a practice and participate in a shared creative community.
For three months in the Fall, Elbow Room will utilize the back space of the Hoffman Gallery as a satellite studio and a site to develop Dialtones, a collaborative audio project featuring contributions from a wide range of Elbow Room artists.
Visitors to the space can engage with the project via a “payphone” installed in the front gallery, where they can call in and listen to audio dispatches from our work.
