Do North is a Neighborhood Arts Celebration that will include a juried exhibition of works from artists residing or working in N/NE Portland. The inspiration for Do North is “Racing Forward into our Future”. Artists are invited to explore the enormous challenges and opportunities that this community has faced and is still facing as we go forward into the future. In our celebration we will honor artists who have helped build our historical community foundation. Artists are completely free to interpret the theme for themselves. This is an “all ages/family event”. We want to celebrate N/NE Portland through your senses.

Cobalt Glance: a dance theatre piece
Over 270 of you got delirious with us, on Saturday Night, in our almost one hundred year old firehouse and on the Patton Park Plaza . We danced, enjoyed good food, got our ‘homecoming pictures’ taken by Mishima Photography, and shared stories in the gallery. We inaugurated our new sculptural marquee/message center. We welcomed back old friends, and made new ones. Thank you to our presenting sponsors Wells Fargo, TriMet and Portland Parks and Recreation . Thank you to our volunteers, who went above and beyond the call of duty, serving food, wine and beer and cleaning up our messes. And to our Board of Directors who sold drawing tickets, greeted guests and danced till last call. A shout out to our entertainment – Sneakin Out, Jennifer Lanier, Melao de Cuba, Mark Durrow, Mark Hayes, Eleanor O’Brien, Dan Trujillo, Andrea White, DJ Funky Surround, and the Crazy 8’s. And finally, a special thank you to our hosts for the evening – Commissioner Charles Jordan, Susan Fatheree-Goodson, Michelle Harper and Mayor Elect Sam Adams, without your vision, hard work and advocacy, over the years, IFCC would not be here. Stay tuned for pictures of the event, brought to you by Jeff Amram Photography And we’ll see you at our Last Thursday opening of WORD.
