Art For Charity at Thursday Art Gallery

Five charities will benefit October 1st as five local artists from Thursday Art Gallery have each donated a selected piece to be sold at the First Thursday show with all proceeds going toward their favorite charities. LeslieAnn Butler, an award-winning Portland artist, has selected Down from the Tree, a 36x18 acrylic painting (pictured), to go on sale with all money raised going to the Oregon Humane Society. To find out more about the artist and view her work, please visit her website at http://www.labutlerartist.com/.

Thursdays Gallery is a cooperative gallery at 827 SW 2nd in Portland. Open only on First Thursdays from 5-9pm. Jay Clemens, owner of the building and Turtledove Clemens Marketing Communications provides gallery space to the artists and donates all sales commissions to various arts organizations through the Regional Arts & Culture Council which he is a current Board member.
