What a summer so far! We are taking a day of rest before we jump headfirst into next week!
We are so lucky to work on the most fun and challenging projects for our community.
Music Mondays (every Monday July-August) is bigger and better than ever with an exciting line-up of local musicians, local food vendors, kids activities and more! Come see Center for the Arts Foundation on Mondays.
Music at the Market in Troutdale every Tuesday of July-August has great local music and farm vendors.
Festival of Arts in Gresham kicked off with the Historic Downtown Gresham Association Third Thursday Street Fair with live music, 70 plus vendors, and fun. Those vendors rolled out to make room for the next night we had a dance on 3rd and Main with Portland Opera a la Cart, Chinese Coalition Jade Dancers, and Hit Machine! The community danced the night away with local beer, wine and margaritas, as well as some great fresh lemonade and cocktails. Restaurants had specials and people had a great time. Then, those vendors went home and we turned things around to be ready for 150 juried artists, a Kids Village, Arts in Action demo area, 200 Gresham Farmers Market vendors, live music on 2 stages and a comedy show to end the day! What a weekend!
We are so proud to be able to be a part of these events and support our community.
Join us this week for Kathryn Grimm and Norman Sylvester for Music Mondays at the Arts Plaza, Steve Hale at Music at the Market in Troutdale and the Eric John Kaiser Band at Bella Vista Park in Gresham for Wednesday Music in the Parks!
