Notice of Review of Public Art Mural Application for:

The purposed mural at 4906 NE 6th Avenue is in the King School Park, and has been designed through listening sessions, suggestions and ideas from the community, King School students, parents, community members, and the neighborhood association. The mural design brings the vibrancy of Martin Luther King’s strength as a meeting point for diversity. The mural will show the strength of our differences and our interdependence.
From Portland Farmers Market:
Join us at the King Market location on November 18, where vendors will reunite for a special Thanksgiving Harvest Market.
Come rain or shine to fill your market basket with seasonal delights like winter squash, Brussels sprouts, potatoes, cranberries, wild mushrooms, fresh eggs, apples, pears, artisan cheeses, baked goods, pickles and preserves, pastured meats, Oregon wines and floral arrangements from LOCAL FARMERS & FOOD ARTISANS, including:
We are nearing the successful completion of the invasive species removal and replanting project at the King Neighborhood Facility. Thank to the tireless advocacy of neighbor Diego Gioseffi, this Earth Day will be another opportunity for the community to come together and plant the slope by the site of the farmers market with native plantings. Spread the word to all your friends!
The community turned out on Monday, January 16th on the Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service to make a dent in the weeds and trash at King School Park. English ivy had taken over the south side of the parking lot at the King Neighborhood Facility and was hiding all manner of things thereunder. A robust group of neighbors, King School PTA members, and invasive species foes dug, hacked snipped and pulled all day. The result is that the strip of land is now nearly completely cleared and several truck loads were hauled away.
Thanks to a grant from NECN and the East Multnomah Soil and Water Conservation District, the area will be re-landscaped with native plants that are not invasive and that will thrive in the location while providing an easily maintained habitat. There are tentative plans to finish the clearing on President’s Day, February 20th.
Special thanks go to all the volunteers, Portland Farmers Market, Whole Foods, Starbucks, and Metro.
