Hello all,
Sorry we have been quiet of late. We have been busy planning and gearing up for our 2010 programs. A few quick items of news:
Now that WORK | PROGRESS is over, the Dill Pickle Club will be moving out of the Eyeful Gallery. We are exploring a number of options, including maintaining a highly visible headquarters that would expand on our pop-up shop, as well as serve as resource center for participatory learning. We are looking to relocate somewhere in downtown or close-in Portland, even on a temporary basis. Do you own a vacant property or know someone who can afford us a free or very inexpensive space? Drop us a line and let us know!
This winter, the Dill Pickle is excited to kick off NORTHWEST PASSAGE, a 3-part dinner lecture series honoring under-acknowledged figures in Northwest music. The series will be an ongoing project focusing on the history of independent music in the region. Who are your unsung heroes of Portland music? We’ll be releasing full details in the next few weeks, so send us your suggestions.
Lastly, we’re very excited to tell you about our 2010 field trips. This year we have six trips planed! Built around the theme “Forgotten Histories,” these events will examine overlooked aspects of Oregon’s past. Full details will be announced at the end of the February.
