 | Influence Gallery, the site of many open-mic Friday events, open forum poetry nights, and an ongoing display of original art by local artists, began in a gallery space at 231 E. Main St. and is now in a smaller, yet charming, even more creative gallery at 131 SE Third Ave. Evan Acey, president of Tualatin Valley Artists, and Linda Holland, board chairwoman, say this move makes them fiscally responsible. Below you see what Influence Gallery looks like now. That's TV Artist member Tom Jacquemin sweeping as he takes care of his duties in the gallery. Inside the gallery you see Tom's photography when he was featured artist. |
