Sip + Shop (along with the Art Walk) is hosted every month in downtown Tillamook. Both of these events encourage folks to do some shopping and take a walk around downtown visiting different merchants.
Art Accelerated is pleased to announce that Brad Ayers will be reading from her work at the Art Accelerated Gallery (1906 Third Street, Tillamook) on Friday, November 8, 5-7 pm.
Brad moved to Cape Mears Oregon in 2015 after living 40 years in Colorado, preceded by Illinois and growing up in California. Brad worked in private business for three major US corporations, then founded his own venture capital and consulting companies, and taught concurrently as an adjunct professor in the University of Phoenix MBA program. Brad’s undergraduate degree was in fine arts from California State University, Long Beach, and graduate MBA degree from the University of Denver. He thought that the inspiration of the Pacific Northwest would rekindle his fine arts interests. But instead, inspired by a writing class his daughter-in-law, Lana Ayers encouraged him to take, Brad discovered writing as a creative outlet that motivated him to complete his memoir, “A Life’s Journey.” During one writing prompt, with Dana Cunningham Anderson, he discovered telling short stories with non-human subjects doing all the talking. For the Sip + Shop he will read and discuss selections from his first series of “ Beach Voices” and from six other series he has written since including, “Doors We Go Through,” “ The Chair Has Something To Say,” “ Walk In My Garden,” “What’s In The Box?,” “Cloths Get Testy,” and, “Food Talks Back.”
