Though the audience in the studio would have held hpr talking, in structing, and encouraging fo r a much, much longer time, Flo Ken nedy turned the meeting over to Tatum, her host. Charles Tatum spoke briefly about the need for an art gathering place where artists, or would-be artists could come to exchange ideas, receive direction or even to paint, do sculpture, read their poetry or sing and dance before an audience. Those present seemed to approve the idea as they responded readily to the small admission price set fo r the evening. Tatum w ill be planning and w orking w ith Berna Plum m er towards developing his dream for the com m unity along the fo rm a t he o utlined to the group. Some o f Tatum’ s own wood sculptures were on view but none were offered for sale at this event.

(Photo: R. Brown) A collaborative Art and Cultural Center, a dream for Northeast Port land, was revealed by Charles Tatum as he opened the doors o f his art studio to the community last Friday evening. Flo Kennedy, attorney, feminist, author and civil rights activist was the magnet speaker for the evening and she did not fail to enthral her listeners who hung on her every word. Saying that she was tired, she remained seated in her comfortable chair, but she summoned up from a deep inner energy the power to exhort Portlanders to be watchful o f their civil rights and liberties granted under the c o n s titu tio n o f these United States. Ms. Kennedy’ s personality wears many “ hats” as those o f many renowned attorneys do, her recall is probably total and her repartee is lightning fast and incisive. She is at once flam boyant, courageous and seems to be a warm sensitive woman who cares deeply about other humans. Flatter Fit Frames especially for you!
