Portland Gallery Hits the Bullseye with Hotel Murano Glass
Posted by Josh on November 15th, 2007
As I promised you a few days ago, I took advantage of an opportunity to get a sneak peek at the new artwork at Portland’s ironically named Bullseye Gallery that will be on display here at the Hotel Murano. In keeping with their mission to eschew blown glass, most of the artwork they feature is flat glass panels that have been formed in a kiln. Even though they were closed that day, the gallery’s Event Coordinator, Ryan Watson, opened the doors and gave me a very knowledgeable tour of the show pieces. Here he is standing by my favorite piece.
Gotta love these camera phones. Check back over the next couple of days. I’ll be serving you up samples of the artwork that you’ll be able to chow down on when you get to Tacoma.

I can’t believe that I missed your first few dozen blog posts! I just learned about your site yesterday and - seriously - the only thing more brilliant than putting together a hotel in the Northwest that is packed with the region’s hottest art form is getting you guys on staff at the hotel to give the insider’s view. I really LOVE reading your stuff (even when you’re not talking about US!) - Lani (at Bullseye)
Hi Lani,
Thanks for the support. As you know, we love your gallery. Glass is an amazing medium and we’re extremely thankful to have it all around us everyday here at the Hotel.
Give us an update about the gallery if you get the chance. We always enjoy hearing from you.
