and much more. Their mission in the
community: to support local artists.
WoMA is creating a much-needed
niche for local artists and the people
who buy art.
WoMA thinks art is like good food.
You can’t eat it but it feeds you, and
because of that - art has to be avai lable
to everyone. WoMA has introduced
a new concept to replace those fussy,
stuffy gallery attitudes. Selecting
only Portland artists originals, prints
o f every work, everyday for $20. Plus
you’ll find great buys in blown and
stained glass, post cards, faux fur,
sculptures, prints o f several visual
artists, blown and stained glass,
driftwood furniture, and much more
at very affordable prices. New pieces
arrive weekly.
The artists featured at WoMA are a
diverse and talented bunch and have
all come with hopes o f increasing
their visibility in the community and
creating a viable career out of their
artwork. “What we really want to
achieve at WoMA is to provide
images o f cutting edge art in view at
one’s home everyday, not just on
first Thursdays in art galleries. We
strive to have art pieces in our
collection that are expressions of
today’s minds and hearts," says
Gregory Browne, founder o f WoMA.
The gallery is a welcome addition to
th e up and co m in g B urnside
neighborhood. The community has
received WoMA with open arms.
“ I ’m glad y o u ’re h ere. T he
n eig h b o rh o o d

needs
something like this”, says a local
resident.
