Birds are inspiring. They bring us sweet songs, they treat us to amazing aerial acrobatics and they remind us to look around and trip out on how wonderful this place is.
Grass Hut gallery is hosting a bird flavored group show. The New Birds show hopes to raise urban bird awareness, develop personal relationships with birds, inspire new-age touchy-feely ego-releasing bird-brain thinking and welcome a new breed of artist to Portland, Oregon.
With over 30 new artists we are bound to get over 30 new interpretations on the simple birds theme. Most of the outta town artists where mailed bird houses to decorate. As luck would have it some random person hung these same birds houses painted blue on telephone poles all around Portland. They also hung duck decoys from power lines. Only in Portland.

Hiberts!


New Work by The Hiberts! June 1st (First Friday), 6-9pm

Watch this!

The Hiberts are an awesome family.

Snaggs, her husband Arbito, his two cousins Oliver and Spencer, gallons of fresh paint and yards of fuzzy felt are coming to Portland, OR to remind us to jump start our imaginations.
Their work is a shining example of west coast psychedelic art. The vivid colors and icons used often resemble work created during the golden 1960s American revolution.
The Hibert family style rounds the edges and cranks the volume up on icons such as hippies, monsters, bell bottoms, totem poles, long hair, flowers and everything typically West Coast that can been shown in a cute and fuzzy light.
Although Arbito, Snaggs, Oliver and Spencer have earned established gallery reputations, they have never shown together in Portland. The simple fact that they are all flying to be here at their Grass Hut opening tells us something about their passion for Portland's art scene.
How passionate are you?


Super! Cool!

Snaggs



Snaggs is a local Seattle textile artist. You can usually find her dwelling in her basement, sewing up a storm; surrounded by heaps of vibrant, rainbow colored, fuzzy felt. When she’s not doing art work, she focuses the rest of her creative energy into outbidding people on ebay, posting paparazzi photos on flickr, and gaining endless inspiration from her artist husband, arbito.
