Art Exhibit: My Favorite Things by Jason Hill
Portland Center Stage will host MY FAVORITE THINGS, an art exhibit by Portland-based multidisciplinary artist Jason Hill from August 2024 through January 2025 in the Ellyn Bye Studio Gallery.
Favorite Things is a portrait and short film series depicting regional artists with items that are precious to them. Developed by Portland filmmaker and photographer Jason Hill, this work documents a collaboration wherein artists were instructed to share and speak about a favorite item in a studio setting. The results are an experiment with light and color to create magical portraits and filmed testimonials.
The opening reception will be a dual celebration of the Wall To Wall Soul exhibit and the Jason Hill exhibit My Favorite Things, as part of November First Thursday, which will be happening Thursday, November 7, 2024, from 6:00-8:00 PM in the PGE gallery at Portland Center Stage. The exhibit will be on view daily through January 2025.
