The
Portland Art Dealers
Association has announced its inaugural recipient of its Award for Service
to the Visual Arts, Julie Bernard.
Julie has been a fixture in the arts community supporting various arts organizations
and with her radio program
Art Focus on
KBOO
radio, which she hosted for a staggering 25 years, (it continues on with other hosts). Frankly,
I can't even remember how many times Ive been on it but the half hour show was
always a blast, focusing on local and national art figures alike. She has a subtle
wry wit and knew how to push peoples buttons. Bernard stepped down in 2008 and
it is wonderful that PADA is acknowledging her contributions.
Here is Joseph Gallivan's interview with
Julie
Bernard in the Tribune.
Congrats, Julie! Have fun...
