The Alberta Art Hop, Art on Alberta‘s day-log celebration, takes place this Saturday, May 15th. The theme of the 11th annual event is ABC: Art Builds Community.
From 11am to 6pm over 15 blocks of NE Alberta will be closed to car traffic. The street fair that ensues includes over 150 artists, craftspeople, music, dance and theater performances.
For Art Hop 2010, we plan to have several murals painted and displayed at multiple venues along NE Alberta Street. AoA is partnering with the neighborhood nonprofit organization Community Energy Project. We have also chosen artist/muralist, Rodolfo Serna, who will work with local schools and youth organizations to design murals to be painted by those parties, as well as the attending public, on Art Hop day. All murals will be painted on plywood and mounted later to building walls with the help of another NE Alberta Street nonprofit organization, Oregon Tradeswomen.
