About Us
Urban Art Network is a registered 501-C3 non-profit organization dedicated to creating opportunities for self-representing local artists.
We are collectively engaged in:
- Creating and hosting events for artists to showcase and sell their work
- Working with businesses and other organizations to promote the arts
- Networking and outreach for both established and emerging artists
Since 2000, a devoted team of artist coordinators has presented a street art gallery in the Pearl District on First Thursdays. For one vibrant evening each month from April through October, artists at all stages of their careers, self-represent and sell their work. The Street Gallery is open to the public, rain or shine, every First Thursday (5pm - 9pm) April through October.
Current board members are Jennifer Kapnek, Dana Gravelle, and Porsha Hendrix.
