Emi Day

2026 Van Evera Bailey Fellow

Emi is using fellowship funds to realize Bridging Portland, a citywide dinner series that reimagines Portland’s bridges as cherished public venues—temporary festival streets where people gather, eat, create, and celebrate together. By transforming these iconic structures into civic tables through community-driven programming, the project demonstrates how shared ritual in public space can renew trust, spark joy, and strengthen Portland’s collective identity.
