alley fest and open studio

Please help us ring in summertime with the inaugural Alley Fest this Saturday from noon till 8pm. It’s our art-fair-block-party in the back alley between NE 27th and NE 28th. A bunch of us neighbors have decided to throw a thing back there. I will open my alley-facing art studio gallery, as will our alley-neighbor James Hook. New murals will be revealed at THE ALLERY, the back-alley art gallery run by Jennifer next door. Other neighbors are bringing pottery and other art to show & sell, there will be a couple of yard sales, some live music, lots of ping pong, an organic produce stand, cotton candy, face painting and more. We may even be visited by Saucy T. Sausage, the ten-foot-tall non-vegan mascot of the Portland Bangers soccer team. Other neighbors are still adding attractions. It’s very misc, and should be very fun!
