18th Street Arts Center also offers Portlock opportunities for artistic exchange through public programs including a Champagne Social on July 27 where his studio will be open to visitors including curators, art collectors, and artists; as well as panels and artist talks that contribute to
a general creative dialogue within the community.
«We want that
dialogue with like - minded people in fashion, music, art... because that leads to something totally new,» explains Torben Schumacher,
general manager of Adidas Originals and Style, the lifestyle divisions where many of the brand's
creative collaborations are housed.
