The annual Gresham Arts Festival returns Saturday, July 18 to the city’s historic downtown, packing
streets and parks with treasures from top artists, along with live music and children’s activities.
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.
