CROSSINGS" an exhibit of new work by Artist and architect, Stephen Korbich On Exhibit through March 29th. For more information, click here.  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.  A big thanks to everyone who joined us for the opening reception last Friday. Stephen and his family hosted a lovely evening and guests were quick to purchase many of the pieces on exhibit! Check out Stephen's Blog!  |

Membership Information
SUSTAINABILITY TIP FOR MEMBERSHelp the AHC be more environmentally sustainable by renewing your membership promptly! Timely responses make your membership contributions go farther because they save paper, postage, and volunteer and staff time. You can even send in your dues or renew on-line prior to receiving a mailed notice by checking the renewal date noted on your newsletter mailing label. With an especially challenging economy, we are trying to be even more respectful of every dollar shared with us by members. There is usually about a one-month interval between us sending out first and second renewal notices. If you know that you will be renewing, but doing so a little late, drop an email to hollyc@VisitAHC.org to stop that second notice in its tracks. Thank you so much for your contributions and participation. Every membership matters! |

More Details about the exhibit | |
