Notice of Review of Public Art Mural Application for: King School Park, 4906 NE 6th Avenue
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, and the neighborhood association. The mural design brings the vibrancy of Martin Luther King’s strength and ability to reach out, with a meeting point for diversity, differences and interdependence.

At last month’s meeting:
- KNA supported Portland Flea, a resale market proposed for the King Facility lot. The market has since been denied use of the space due to zoning regulations.
- KNA residents on Sumner Street continue to oppose the proposed 7-Eleven on Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. and are trying to find a way to mitigate traffic impacts.
- Woody Broadnax received KNA support for an event at the vacant lot at MLK and Alberta on July 21-22nd. It will be a voter registration drive with food, music, and speakers.
- Dr. Maila Davenport introduced a year-long World Tree Project-six sites that would have a world tree and community art element. A letter from KNA is required for Maila’s grant application to Regional Arts and Culture Council. KNA will discuss the idea via email.
- KNA is partnering with NECN on a fund raising drive for the Backpack Lunch Program. KNA and the King School PTA would jointly aim to have enough food and enough money to do a big packing day in November.
- KNA voted to form the Soil to Soul food security committee, which would address King Neighborhood food-related topics as they arose (i.e.,7-Eleven actions, the Sprite Spark Parks Project at King School).
- KNA’s Movie in the Park will be ET: The Extraterrestrial, screened on Saturday June 30. Several people are working on selling advertisements, finding volunteers, and asking for raffle donations.
