 | | THE OREGONIAN/ Alberta Opens a Funky ’07 by Brian Libby "Many Alberta (Steet) galleries combine art exhibition with other retail. At 22nd Street in a delightful little mid-century brick building, OFFICE pays its prent selling cool Jack Spade bags and designer stationery. But husband-and-wife owners Tony Secolo and Kelly Coller reserver a corner gallery space, which often spotlights the artistic endeavors of local ad agencies and design firms, in addition to local graphic artists. To kick off 2007, OFFICE features a group show with 26 works, each by a different artists and representing a letter of the alphabet. Trish Grantham’s mixed media "V is for Voyeur" exemplifies a delightfully distinct signature style combingin simple drawigs of animals with printed materials such as foreign newspapers."

 | | THE OREGONIAN / A Stapler and a Monster by Brian Libby Oregonian / A + E Section / May 19 2006
"Although you can indeed purchase binders, paper and pens at OFFICE, the Alberta Street storefront space is a far cry from Staples. Owners Kelly Coller and Tony Secolo abandoned careers in architecture and graphic design, respectively, to open this chic and delightfully cheeky hybrid of retail, gallery and event space. The retail comes from office supplies with midcentury-modern style and an emphasis on artisan-made and imported items. Events include meet-and-greets with veteran design professionals to help young creatives..." |

"
"Portland, Often Slighted, Is Showing A New Vigor. In Oregon’s metropolis, the arts, night live and fashion are thriving. A lively (arts walk) is the Last Thursday event along Northeast Alberta Street, one of the city’s reviving neighborhoods. I’ts a good evening to drop by OFFICE, an office supplies store-cum-arts space. If Dilbert read Wallpaper, he’d shop here for a cool-colored Jack Spade laptop bag, or a handbag made from a drive-through bank tube." |
