Tim Folland and Ianthe Jackson

Free Artist Talk

Join us for a casual artist talk with two visiting artists whom are participating in Gallery Homeland's Scratching the Surface. Scratching the Surface is a community based public project that draws focus to the Willamette River’s strength as a unifier of diversities and a link, both symbolically and literally, with communities beyond the city limits. Through site specific installations, gallery exhibits, film and video presentations, lectures, and performances this project will continue to introduce people to a new way of seeing and participating in the life of their city.
