m unity C ollege has a tem porary es­
cape into a land o f beauty, artistic
grandeur and soothing im agery w ait­
ing for you. W h at’s more, it’s free!
Put away the aspirin and find your
way to Art Beat ’99, set to take over
PCC campuses May 10-14. Thisyear’s
multi-campus event represents the 13*
time the college has brought local,
regional national visual pierforming
artists onto its mam campuses to ex­
pose you and others like you to unique
visions and versions o f our world.
Photography is the them e for Art
Beat ’99, w ith the w ork and w isdom
o f P o rtlan d p h o to g ra p h e r T erry
Toedtem eier taking center stage. The
professional photographer, curator
and geologist w ill show slides o f his
w ork and discuss his perceptions o f
nature and art on T uesday, M ay 11 at
the Sylvania C am pus from noon to 1

In addition to Toedtemeier’s ex­
pertise, PCC will shine a light on youth­
ful exuberance with a Student Photo­

But pictures only tell part o f the story
this year. Portland Hip-Hop artists will
