DIVA Center Gallery opening

There was a First Friday Art Walk opening at the DIVA Center galleries tonight. A tattoo art show was featured with gorgeous, live male and female models exposing beautiful tattoos on various body parts and large format photos and paintings of various designs by local tattoo artists. Other exhibits were a University of Oregon student art exhibit that included video art; an attractive, slightly New-Agey exhibit of silk screen work; two installations from opposite ends of the sensual spectrum; and a room for airbrush tattoos. A huge throng of people filing through all night. Many folks from the body-art community. I had an opportunity to pass out fliers about the Media Arts Committee’s programs including the Open Lens Festival and our Sunday film series events. All-in-all a successful event. It’s good to be involved with DIVA, good to see the community embracing our vision. Please check out the site www.divanow.org.
