Arts Celebrated All Summer Downtown
Performing arts center hosts
series focused on fun
Summer Arts on Main is a new weekday series celebrating
the fun o f art. Weekly events will feature arts, crafts, music, food
and hands-on activities for children in the heart of the dow n­
town Cultural Arts District. Main Street between Southwest
Broadway and Park Streets, next to Arlene Schnitzer Concert
Hall, will bea hiveof activity Wednesdays, from 10a.m. to2 p.m.
through Aug. 25.
Summer Arts on Main coexists with the Portland Farmers
Market on the Park Blocks providing an expanded offering o f
activities. The events will also include artisans from the Port­
land Saturday Market to showcase a wide variety of wares
including paintings, pottery, jewelry, photography, clothing,
hand-carved woodwork and natural bath products.
Free craft activities just for kids -from paper crafts and hand
puppets to pet rocks and face painting-are a mainstay of the
series. Perhaps sidewalk chalk drawings will encourage kids
and adults to be inspired by the many flowers, fruits, vegetables
and wonders of the Farmers Market. Or try a hand at the
vegetable derby with rolling zucchini, peaches, and carrots
racing down an incline to victory.
The New Theatre Building's skylight-domed Rotunda will
host the ancient art form of Tai Chi every W ednesday at noon.
Members of the Taoist Tai Chi Society of Oregon will provide
demonstrations and instruction in better health and relaxation.
