Bayside is Painting Outside the Box!
The Bayside Neighborhood Association is partnering with Portland Downtown on a project to repaint utility boxes in the neighborhood with designs by local artists. A panel of judges, including a prominent gallery director from Bayside will decide what designs are approved and funded. At least one utility box in the Bayside neighborhood has been identified for repainting by the program. The deadline for submissions is September 3rd. Go to the Portland Downtown website for more information and to submit a proposal for consideration.

If you are an artist living or working in Bayside, the Bayside Neighborhood Association wants to hear from you! We have lots of programs and opportunities for artists in the works. In addition to the Painting Outside the Box program, we have a mandate to create a sculpture of some kind from the trunk of a huge oak tree that was recently felled on Oxford Street to make way for the 89 Elm Street housing project by Reveler. The raw piece of material will be on display with more information at the Bayside Trail Tree Hugging Event on September 13th. Also The BNA is planning to reboot our popular Black Frame Art Sale and is looking for artists to participate. Reach out for more information and join us!
