Gallery exhibit
The Fireplace Gallery at Mt. Hood Community College, 26000 S.E. Stark St., hosts a free exhibit by artist Patrick Driscoll through March 28, titled I offer so much, but commit so little.
Driscoll describes painting as an activity of discipline, and I might go so far as to say it is the closest activity I have to a spiritual practice. He has studied from Portland to France, and won awards from numerous colleges.
The Fireplace Gallery is in the Student Union. Hours are 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday. Parking is free.
People requiring accommodations due to a disability should contact the Disability Services office at 503-491-6923 or 503-491-7670 (TDD).
