Free Final Friday Open House at Pendleton Art Center

A glass of wine before or after dinner? Some studios give it to you. A few give bourbon. Want a curated tour? Recommended studios: 805, 811, 709, 712, 714, 305, 220, 112.

Most people stop at every studio. They take the elevator to the 8th floor and walk their way down. By the 6th floor a third of them have seen enough and left. By the 5th floor another third have. If you stumble on any studios you think should be added to or removed from the list, comment below or send me a note, like where is the best bourbon.

The Pendleton Art Center has more independent artists under one roof than any other place in the world, according to Guinness. On the last Friday of each month (except December) they have this open house.

Valet parking is $10. Down 13th St are lots that are $7 unless a big event is in town. Be advised that the Valet parking ends at 9 PM and you must at least retrieve your keys by then if you are going to walk someplace, perhaps for a drink, after the art show ends. The $7 lots are good till the wee hours.

Free parking is in the casino if you don't mind walking through the casino and then the extra blocks.

BTW, if you want to wait for the elevator, rather than walk down the stairs, stand close to its windows and the operator will stop the next time he/she passes.

Originally this site was to facilitate Art By Appointment 7 days a week, but the person who wanted to make sure that never happened won. Now this site just promotes events.
