MMoCA Spring Gallery Night

You've never seen art like this! Neighborhood activist, folk band musician, avid gardener, photographer, and writer May Mullen,a former teacher at Oregon School District, creates upcycled images using the return address labels that non-profits send potential donors. Not only is her approach unique - but her favorite subject is chickens! Come meet Mary, who will have prints and cards of her art available for purchase.

We select a non-profit each month for First Friday on Monroe Street, and donate 20% of our sales to them. Check back to see what group we select for June!
