Please join us for a First Thursday Open House on June 5th for a special evening celebrating arts and culture in our region! Naomi Likayi, a public artist at the newly renovated Parklane Park, will be facilitating a community cosmogram activity. Likayi's artwork, Shared Differences, is a reminder that all of us come through a source and are united through the four phases of life across time and seasons. Shared Differences is inspired by the story of the Tomanowos (Willamette Meteorite) and the philosophies of the Bakongo Dikenga Cosmogram. Suzanne Savaria, a co-director and developer of the Artist as Citizen Initiative (an inspiring arts and social justice program), also leads a class at Portland State University. Her class's final project will be displayed in the front community area at the open house for visitors to enjoy. Additionally, enjoy complimentary refreshments, connect with artists and community members, and ask our team questions about our open and upcoming opportunities. This is a free and all-ages event, we hope to see you there! ⌛Event Date & Time: June 5th, 2025 from 5-7 pm 📍Location: 411 NW Park Ave #101, Portland, OR 97209 While RSVPs aren’t required, it’s helpful for us to get a sense of attendance.
