Upcoming Events
Street Art and the Urban Landscape
September 12 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Explore the spectacular street art in the Central Eastside Industrial District!
We’re partnering with the Portland Street Art Alliance (PSAA) to bring you a unique view of urban landscapes. PSAA director Tiffany Conklin will speak about the city’s rich history of murals and graffiti art, active community art projects, and a range of topics related to street art, graffiti, and the politics of public space. Delve into the vibrant fabric that weaves artists, structures, and communities together while exploring how collaboration with street art can impact architecture.
We will host a short reception at Bora Architects after the tour concludes to enjoy refreshments and company.
Please meet the tour leader inside the parking art-filled garage. Tours are “rain or shine” events and we recommend that attendees wear appropriate shoes and clothing while also carrying water. Bathroom access is only available at the tour starting and ending point (at 1615 SE 3rd Ave) and may not be accessible during the tour. Attendees are encouraged to plan accordingly.
