Last November, CreativeMornings/Portland hosted Matt Wagner, a local art director and the owner and curator of Hellion Gallery. The Hellion Gallery strives to be the place between the craft boutiques and the higher end galleries. Matt believes that artists should look forward to a lifelong career rather than a flash in the pan. Matt states, “It’s a marathon, not the 20yd dash.” He encourages everyone to become patrons in this artists economy.Thanks to 52 Limited, Citizen and Pro Photo Supply for sponsoring the event, Ziba for hosting, and Jason de Parrie-Turner for shooting the video.Submit your favorite quote from Matt’s talk at: http://creativemornings.com/talks/matt-wagner
