  • Paragon Studios Portland, OR (map)

Come celebrate “Joni Smith: Markmaker” opening at @pccparagonarts on Thursday Oct 2, 4-7pm with a special musical performance by @madcomposerlab Kennedy Verrett at 5pm. Kennedy will share a song composed in response to Joni’s artwork, bringing her expressive marks to life with sound.

Joni’s prolific and entirely self-taught practice is finally being showcased in a solo exhibit, sharing a glimpse of the breadth of her life-long practice to the public for the first time. You don’t want to miss this!
Congrats to Joni on this incredible achievement and thank you to PCC Paragon Gallery for presenting this monumental exhibit.
