 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 Supper with A Somewhat Secret Place: Disability and Art

 at Portland Stock Dinner


 Portland, Oregon December 18th 2011


 A Somewhat Secret Place: Disability and Art is Catherine J. H. Miller’s
 first socially engaged work of art. 28 works of art, literature and
 performance from artist and writers with and without disabilities will be
 featured in Miller’s book and exhibition. Miller's planned inclusive book
 and exhibition project will create an international conversation that will
 show that artists/writers with disabilities are capable of expanding what 
is
 considered fine art and the common understanding of art history. Miller’s
 book will offer her theories on the intersection of contemporary arts and
 disability, and offer definitions and names for four areas of artistic
 practice in which disability is present. Miller is currently accepting
 submissions.


 A Somewhat Secret Place: Disability and Art is pleased to announce Miller's
 inclusion in the first Stock Dinner of 2011. We ask for your support and
 invite you to attend this interesting and entertaining event with us. To
 support this project it takes $10, eating good food and your vote on the
 night of Sunday January 23rd at PNCA.
 What is Portland Stock Dinner?
 About Stock




 "Stock is a monthly public dinner event and presentation series which
 democratically funds Portland-area artist projects. Diners pay $10 for a
 homemade meal and the chance to vote for which artist proposal will receive
 the evening's proceeds. The dinner's profits immediately become an artist
 grant, awarded according to the vote of the diners. Winning artists present
 their completed work at the next Stock dinner{...]" Read more :) and RSVP

 What is  A Somewhat Secret Place: Disability and Art  asking form a Stock
 grant?
 A Somewhat Secret Place: Disability and Art desperately needs money for
 advertising and mailing costs for the promotion of the exhibitionism in
 July. We hope to receive enough votes to get the first Stock Grant of 2011.


 Please remember that the grant amount is dependent on the level of
 attendance, so this is why we need all who know and love this project to
 attend.
