Gresham Arts Festival Saturday The 14th annual Gresham Arts Festival, the city’s most popular annual event, returns Saturday, July 18, drawing thousands of people to meet with - and shop from - a carefully selected crop of Northwest artists and artisans: painters, potters, sculptors, glass- blowers, jewelers, woodworkers, photographers, and more. More than150 artists will fill the streets from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., along with 12 musical acts and a “Kids’ Village” sponsored by Greater Gresham Baptist Church that encourages kids to unleash their inner artist by participating in free and fanciful craft projects and cooling off in the Children’s Fountain. Festival visitors also are in- vited to help break a Guinness World Record at the Chalk of Fame, as families, friends, busi- nesses and community groups together color in 350 5-by-5-foot Gresham-themed chalk drawings - the most ever put to pavement - on Third Street next to the Arts Plaza. New York Rapper Tour Himanshu Suri, a.k.a. Heems New York rapper Himanshu Suri, better known by his stage name Heems, will be playing the Star Theater, downtown on Wednesday evening, July 22. Heems was a member of the alternative hip hop group Das Racist. This is his first tour since drop- ping Eat Pray Thug, a critically acclaimed hip hop album he says has been so import- ant post 9-11 and in the wake of today’s po- litical climate. The CD was released earlier this year. He is also the founder of Greed- head Music, an independent record label.
