Rake Art Gallery  325 NW 6th, Portland OR       

If you haven’t read about it here before, COLOURlovers is a thriving community of color fanatics made up of designers, decorators, artists, and many other color fans looking for inspiration and serious palette making tools, or just trend spotting.  We’ve recommended their web site before as being neatly useful and fun, and the word has spread.

Around this time last year they released a first major version update (version "Coup.0") full of new tools and features to keep the love flowing.  Darius Monsef, the COLOURlovers founder, celebrated this growth by taking what he could from the virtual world and letting people experience it firsthand.  Well, it’s one year later and the community has swelled, and along with it came a clamor of new ideas, so now the color loving gang is back with another major revision.

With this newest release, lovingly code named "Version Weee.0", they’ll showcase some incredible new ways to create with color.  We share their enthusiasm for taking a virtual creation, making it real, and putting it right in your hands (or right on your walls).  So this year we offered to help Darius celebrate with another gallery event - but this time Imagekind is creating all the physical pieces, on demand - as is our usual style, for the crowd of color gawkers to interact with!  We think it’s a great way to showcase what Imagekind can do, and celebrate with some very ambitious and creative people down the road.

That particular road is a bit harder to travel these days, but rest assured we’ll be there, so join us at Rake Art Gallery for an evening of creative and fun color interaction, music, drinks, edibles and an artwork raffle. Event proceeds will benefit HODR.org, a volunteer staffed disaster relief non-profit.

We hope to see you there!
