And on the Fourth Day, a Block Party.
We just heard of a cool event happening on Saturday, September 18th (the day after the New Communicators events) called Block Party @ Ninth Row. SE 9th Ave, between Belmont and Madison will be closed to traffic and there will be food, music and art from inner SE Portland purveyors of goodness to support the “emerging creative scene in the Central Eastside industrial area.” The details of the event (band and booth/vendor list etc.) are still being worked out, so here is the Block Party Vendor Agreement if you are interested in participating.
The team at The Art Department, a gallery and event space on SE 9th, is putting the Block Party together. Their mission is very close to our hearts, they work to differentiate their space “from traditional galleries and instead focus on onetime events and exhibitions with artisans and creatives who are defining the local aesthetic.” Definitely check them out and, who knows, maybe put on an event of your own.
