I am excited the hear that Ray Boyle is in Portland, Oregon and curating a couple exhibits, discussions and events. The opening night is July 16th, 2011 and features two evolving shows so would be a great way to welcome her back and learn about the deep creative work she is organizing. Both shows will feature the work of and projects of Sarah Farahat who was featured last fall at Tribute Gallery and she is currently fundraising and needs your support!
