Artist Opening at New Cascadia

Sorry for the short notice: The New Cascadia Traditional Bakery will be having an artists opening for April Coppini, Friday (tonight) at 4-5:00 PM. Here are details.

This Friday, March 5, we will be hosting an afternoon artist’s reception featuring the work of oil painter and charcoal artist, April Coppini. Originally from Rochester, NY, April moved to Portland in 1995, making the Northeast neighborhood her home. She draws inspiration from her 7 year old daughter, 11 chickens, 2 cats, and Duke (the best dog ever!). The subtle interworkings of nature influence her work , as it is “an effort to record something unseen about the form of animals; movement, life, the space between things.”

Join us this Friday afternoon from 4 to 5pm for soaking in some beautiful artworks and enjoying gluten-free treats! April’s work will be on exhibit in the bakery until the end of March, and all pieces are available for sale. Please call us if you have any questions 503.546.4901.
