Portland Downtown Art Walk Returns This Friday
CYY will be camped out in Downtown Portland for this month's First Friday Art Walk, Presented by Creative Portland, taking place on November 7th. Here's some of the highlights that you should most definitely check out: Portland Museum of Art
Unveiling of the Robert Indiana SEVEN Sculpture in Front of the Portland Museum of Art at 5:30 p.m.
Robert Indiana has long been associated with the emergence and of the first generation of pop artists in America, a group that included figures like Jasper Johns as well as Andy Warhol. As with his artistic peers, Indiana was interested in the relationship between specific objects and images that circulated as part of American culture, and the creation of artistic meaning in postwar America. As with Indiana’s famous one-word works of art, the numerals suggest both “thing,” a meaningful numeral, and its representation as art, a monumental sculpture. For the PMA, Seven is both a landmark sculpture that will tie the identity of the museum with one of Maine’s most prominent artists as well as a cheeky announcement of the museum as place: the PMA’s address is Seven Congress Square.

The Pulps
The Definitive Survey of a Re-Discovered American Genre from the Lesser Collection at the New Britain Museum of American Art. Sensational paintings that gripped the Depression-era public with their themes of adventure, mystery, horror, sci-fi and damsels in distress.
Now, for the first time, the world’s largest collection of Pulp Cover Art is presented in a comprehensive touring exhibition of the original paintings and the magazine covers they became.
