Sad Night Live is curated by PMOMA featuring sad songs from performers Michael Hurley, Shelley Short, and Dragging an Ox Through Water. Authors Patrick DeWitt and Jon Raymond will read their saddest stories. Please join us in embracing sadness as part of happiness. 

A little about being sad:

Sadness is perhaps the least popular emotion, but there is at times something comforting in its presence, also. The sadness of others, when presented in the form of song, story, or painting, can be moving and empowering, as the viewer is forced to recognize sorrow as a shared or communal experience. 

Tuesday March 15th, at the Portland Museum of Art, five local artists will delve into their most melancholic material, in celebration of all things Sad. 

Sad Night Live: Because a life without sadness is no life at all.

This is a free event.
