Hello and welcome!

This is a space set aside to provide you with news and updates relating to the event.  It is also a place where we will be posting interactions with participating artists, as well as interviews, articles, and soforth.  The next few weeks are going to be a whirlwind of activity as the event date approaches and we attempt to keep the sky from falling on our heads, so check back often.

Considering this post is the Blog’s maiden voyage, I’ll stick with the facts.  Here’s the pertinent info:

The event is free and open to the public, with 70 artists in over 30 locations around Portland. 

We’re operating on a shoestring budget, as this is not a profit-making venture for the event coordinators, but rather a way to increase public awareness and enjoyment of art.  It is also a way to provide artists with a presentation space that they may not normally have, and give them access to a wider audience.  Our two main event hubs are located at Milepost 5 and Voodoo Doughnuts (Too).  There you can see multiple artists and performers, as well as pick up copious amounts of written material that will give you the lowdown on the wider event. 

To view work by the artists, and to get more information, visit the website.

The schedule is as follows:

September 26  :  5pm - 9pm
September 27  :  11am - 6pm
September 28  :  11am - 6pm
