Love is Love!

January 24, 2018
Love is Love!



Phoenix Media is pleased to continue its involvement with the Portland Love Show. After a six-year hiatus, the 200-plus artist event is back. The Return of the Love Show opens Feb 3 with a celebration at Ford Gallery and Ford Food and Drink. Ben Pink, one of the founders of The Love Show, was instrumental in reviving this exhibition, a long-time favorite amongst Portland artists. "This is a show about love. Not just the sappy Hallmark kind of love, but love in all its many forms: The good, the bad, and yes, even the ugly," says Pink about the legendary show.

This year The Love Show benefits Transition Projects. Phoenix Media and The Love Show crew strongly encourage everyone to bring a donation of clothing and other much-needed supplies to the opening celebration to support Transition Projects. Transition Projects delivers life-saving and life-changing assistance to some of Portland’s most vulnerable residents. Winter is here and many, many folks are in need of clothing and other important items. HERE is a list of accepted items. Show your love. Please bring what you can to the opening celebration or to Ford Gallery throughout the duration of the show.
