JOIN US THIS FRIDAY!
Opening Reception, Friday March 5th 6-8pm
Free and open to the public
 Architect and artist, Stephen Korbich lives and works in Portland and has used our wonderful cityscape as inspiration for his upcoming show "Crossings".
While he has always been artistic and dabbled in many different mediums, it was not until recently that he decided to pick up the brush in a more dedicated fashion.
He has been working on new pieces for his AHC exhibit for months and his show is sure to please. Make plans to attend his opening reception.
