Lewis & Clark at Exquisite Gorge

September 29-December 15

Collaborative imaginings of the Columbia River in fiber sculpture and woodblock print

This exhibit focuses on the contributions of Lewis & Clark students over the past five years to Exquisite Gorge, a community-driven art project sponsored by the Maryhill Museum of Art in Goldendale, WA. Based on the Surrealist conceit of “exquisite corpse,” each iteration of Exquisite Gorge involves ten teams of artists and communities working on six-foot-long art pieces representing different sections of the Columbia River. Such communities have included veterans’ organizations, tribal groups, area high school students and library patrons, and other residents of specific portions of the Columbia River Gorge. When completed, these sections are then assembled to create a massive, sixty-foot artwork that reflects the diversity of interests and concerns of the Gorge as a whole
The Hoffman Gallery is excited to show Exquisite Gorge I and II together for the first time, as well as to highlight work on both of them by past and present Lewis & Clark students. Exquisite Gorge I was a woodblock print created in 2019, while Exquisite Gorge II is a fiber arts sculpture that was finished this past summer. The exhibit also includes related work by Exquisite Gorge artists such as Amanda Triplett, Francisco and Laura Bautista, and Jane Pagliarulo.
The opening reception for this event will be Thursday, September 29, from 5 to 7 pm.

Support Our Community Programs

In just over 4 years, Portland TextileX Month (PTXM) has turned from an ambitious idea into an engaged community movement. This transformation highlights the power of our mission to foster collaboration, cross-pollination, cultural dialogue, and intergenerational exchange among the Portland textile community and beyond.

This year we’ve organized the PTXM festival with over 40 events and directly sponsored a multitude of FREE programs including exhibits, workshops, artist talks, community events, and more—representing a diverse range of textile interests and practices. This year’s PTXM Regeneration Festival has brought together makers, businesses, teachers, students, institutions, and organizations to gather around shared interests and knowledge-sharing. PTXM would not have been possible without the dedication of event organizers, paid contributors, paid interns, amazing volunteers and the receptiveness of the textile community.

We hope to continue building PTXM and TextileX website as sustainable resources that serve the textile community for years to come, and that’s where you come in.

If you feel a connection to the PTXM mission and what we can accomplish together, please consider making a direct contribution programming. As a direct contributor, your funds will go directly toward programming, lean administrative expenses, and providing paid internships. We appreciate any contribution you can make and your continued support.
