Join us for a free film showing and lively community discussion! The urban champion Jane Jacobs had a special relationship with the City of Portland over its evolution as diverse place of mixed uses and walkable neighborhoods. Jacobs championed lively, diverse neighborhoods, and citizen activism to preserve urban communities in the face of destructive development projects. Arguably no one did more to shape our understanding of the modern American city than this visionary activist.
The film will be opened with a brief introduction by Chet Orloff, Oregon historian and author, followed by a Q&A after the film with noted community leaders including Sabina Urdes, a community engagement specialist and chair of the Lents Neighborhood Association. With audience input, we will be discussing Portland’s changing civic relationship with city government, and the fight for neighborhood structure preservation. Citizen Jane is a timely tale of what can happen when engaged citizens fight power for the sake of better cities.
Co-sponsored by the NW Examiner, XRAY.FM, and KeepPortlandNeighborly.org

About the Exhibition
Throughout his career, artist Hank Willis Thomas (American, born 1976) has addressed the visual systems that perpetuate inequality and bias in bold, skillfully crafted works. Through photographs, sculpture, video, and collaborative public art projects, he invites us to consider the role of popular culture in instituting discrimination and how art can raise critical awareness in the ongoing struggle for social justice and civil rights.
Following its presentation in Portland, the exhibition will travel to Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas (February 8 – April 20, 2020), and to the Cincinnati Art Museum in Cincinnati, Ohio (July 10 – October 11, 2020).
There will be 2 shows--an all-ages show from 5-7 and a 21+ show from 8-11. Each show will have a unique lineup.
Plus an amazing raffle including a guitar signed by Tom Morello from Prophets of Rage and Rage Against the Machine, boozy drinks and more. You do not need to be present to win.
Join the raffle by becoming a p:ear core member. Between September 1st and October 12th, sign up with a monthly gift of at least $10 per month. p:ear core is a monthly giving program that ensures stability and support for p:ear youth and programs.

I AM A BABY IN MY UNIVERSE: A CELEBRATION OF DANIEL JOHNSTON
As Fall is upon us, we are shifting locations to a place that few people have seen, but trust us, you should. It is one of the most amazing creative spaces in the city. Bodecker has hosted musical performances in the bottom of a skate bowl, taught young performers how to manufacture merch and needs to be seen to be believed. We will only be here for this month and be somewhere new in November.
Our topic is suited to the space as we present a panel to explore the promise and challenges of house shows and pop-up musical events. Can these (often well-paying) alternative performance options work cooperatively with traditional venues and with the city to expand the earning potential of local and touring musicians? Expect a vibrant conversation.
These First Monday gatherings have become the place where we remind ourselves that we are a huge and potent professional music community. Come. Connect. Engage. See the incredible Bodecker space - play some mini golf (seriously!!!)
All-ages. Entrance (and the drinks) are free, but require that you have completed the 2-min MusicPortland Profile. (http://bit.ly/MuPoProfile ). We'll check you in at the door and help you complete a profile on the spot, if you need help, but faster if you do it before you come.
Every first Tuesday from 9PM-1AM join XRAY.FM DJs spinning records live at one of the coziest bars in Portland, Beech Street Parlor! For a full schedule of events visit Beech Street Parlor here.
Join us for drinks, desserts, karaoke, gratitude, and gifts for the XRAY.FM Karaoke Thank You Party!
We'll be unveiling our brand new XRAY.FM record tote bag and celebrating all of our friends and fans who have kept the station going strong for five years. Arrive early for free vegan dessert!
Karaoke provided by Karaoke with Jessicon.

Artfair Portland is an avant-garde art fair happening where visitors can buy astounding art in a wide palette of prices—$50 to $1.45M— while participating in new and beautiful art performances.
Our showcase gallery is the Portland Art & Learning Studio — their intellectually and developmentally disabled artists create art that is more pure, shocking and real than anything you have ever seen before.
Artfair Portland is a scripted art happening open to chance and chaos. You’ll have the opportunity to consult with a snake psychic, participate in the world’s largest epic chant, see strange acts and dance to the electronic music of DJ Ganymede and DJ 1-800 Whittaker. The entire event will be filmed and become an episode of season three of “I’m Carlos Now”.
The fair is divided into two zones—the A-Zone where visitors can quietly meditate on Texas Red icons and the D-Zone where artworks, performances and dynamic chaos will create fresh and exciting experiences.
