Keep Portland Beard

It's only fitting that the beardiest city in the United States pays tribute to the hirsute among us at an art gallery.

Keep Portland Beard is an exposition of beardy art curated by Michael Buchino (beardrevue.com) at The Tribute Gallery from April 19–May 1. The big party will be April 24 at 8 p.m. Open to the bearded and non-bearded alike. RSVP to michaelbuchino@gmail.com.

The show will feature works by artists Rachel Caldwell, Erin Dollar, Chad Eaton, Chris Hornbecker, Jamie Reed, Ashley Goldberg, Bryan Keplesky, Brooke Weeber, Ian Seniff, Kyle Durrie, Lloyd Winter, Santiago Uceda, BT Livermore, Patrick Weishampel and Michael Buchino. Disciplines of all sorts will be represented: painting, illustration, photography, letterpress, screen printing and prosthetic beardcraft. Artist bios can be found here: pdx.be/kpb-artistbios.

About Beard Revue
In 2008, Portlander and beard ambassador Michael Buchino began Beard Revue as a comical revue of beards, grading them on a 0-10.0 scale. Beard Revue has since grown into an internet hub for beard and moustache related art, apparel and assorted ephemera.
