Tomorrow (February 6, at 4 pm) the Portland Institute for Contemporary Art will be hosting a meeting at the The Cleaners at Ace Hotel (403 SW 10th Ave) to gather community suggestions for artists to be considered for inclusion in The People's Biennial, a recently announced addition to the 2010 Time-Based Art Festival programming. "For this exhibition, five art institutions in the United States will present a biennial of contemporary art consisting of works by five artists in each of the institutions’ local communities," reads the press release, stipulating that the five communities are "in locations that lie outside mainstream art centers, but in places where art nonetheless thrives." A list of participating cities can be found here. More details about tomorrow's meeting from the press release:

[Curators Harrell Fletcher and Jens Hoffmann] ... are seeking recommendations from the public about the most interesting work being made right here and right now, specifically by artists and non-artists who are operating outside of traditional presenting institutions and systems. This could include a child who makes incredible science fair projects, a person knitting fantastic clothing, a developmentally disabled artist making engaging drawings or sculptures, a mathematician that composes visually compelling notations, or a sign painter who creates great window displays. Join the conversation and think way outside the white cube.

If you're busy tomorrow, you can email your suggestions to people@pica.org. The curators ask that you include photos of work by the artist you're nominating, and they promise to credit you if your nominee is selected for the biennial.
