Can Last Thursday Be Saved from Itself?

Posted on by

What do you think about Last Thursday?

The Northeast Coalition of Neighborhoods is canvassing neighborhoods along Alberta and soliciting input from neighbors affected by Last Thursday. As the impact grows each year, now over 10,000 attendees on summer months, any benefit to the local economy needs to be weighed against the noise, litter, parking issues and public drunkeness. Is this an event that the neighborhoods want? Should Last Thursday continue to be regulated differently than other large events in the city? Are there ways to improve Last Thursday? The City of Portland wants to know.

On Saturday, May 15, 2010 from 11am to 6pm, Art on Alberta will hold its 11th Annual Art Hop with the theme, “ABC: Art Builds Community.” Over 15 blocks of NE Alberta Street will be closed to car traffic to accommodate over 150 artists, craftspeople, music, dance and theater performances, interactive art events along with food and other vendors. This is a free arts event for kids of all ages.

This year, Art Hop accomplishes a major murals project on NE Alberta Street. Three murals will be painted by area youth groups including House of Umoja, Girls Inc. and the George School under the direction of Skidmore Prize winner Rodolpho Serna. A fourth mural will be painted by the attending public on the day of Art Hop, designed and supervised by Esteban Camacho. Art on Alberta has been facilitating these murals as a gift to two other nonprofits who serve this neighborhood: Sabin CDC and Community Energy Project. Art on Alberta is a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote the Alberta Art District’s distinct identity through art and educational activities.
