Vote Chilkat Robe “Resilience” at Portland Art Museum

The proposed “Resilience” Chilkat robe design by Clarissa Rizal

I would like your support on a project that is happening this week until the April 12th Art Event at the Portland Art Museum in Portland.  This year, out of 7 art works, PAM will be purchasing only 2 of the new art works for their permanent collection.  There are 7 curators who have chosen 7 different artists.   Each of PAM’s seven curators have selected a work of art that they hope will find a place in the Museum—whether an ancient work of Chinese art or the latest from a contemporary artist.

There is only one choice for a new Native American art work to be placed in the museum; the Chilkat robe is IT! — Remember, there will be only 2 artworks out of 7 that will be chosen for PAM’s permanent collection

My proposed Chilkat robe called “Reslience” is up for vote;  as of today, the Chilkat robe is placed 4th in the running.  That’s not quite good enough; I’ve got to be at least 2nd in the running – here’s your chance to play a role in influencing the Museum’s permanent collection AND here’s your chance to vote for a Chilkat robe to be added to their Native American art collection AND here’s your chance to help me support myself with this Chilkat robe commission for this next year!
