Self Portrait

January 26-27, 2023 @ 7:30pm
N.E.W. 810 SE Belmont St, Portland, OR 97214

From Messiaen to Yayoi Kusama, artists expressing their unique inner worlds have crafted some of the world’s most personal and profound beauty. Recent traumas left many isolated from their pressure release valve, communal creation. Bear witness to testimonials from local artists, hear the vulnerable music and words of composer-mental health advocates Nina Shekhar and Aaron Helgeson, and join in for a polka dot-inspired group art project.

Also, be sure to check out the FREE workshops for music educators with Galen Cohen in conjunction with Self Portrait in February & March! Learn more here.
