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

XRAY is proud to sponsor Call of the Wild, a camp-inspired celebration to benefit Oregon Wild, a local nonprofit advocating for our wildlands, wildlife, and waters for 45 years. This event features casual flannel instead of black ties, campfire circles instead of white tablecloths, and custom bites instead of pre-selected entrees. Guests will enjoy a silent auction filled with outdoor adventures and gear, local food and drink, live music from Jason Okamoto, and more. We hope to see you around the campfire on Friday October 11th at Leftbank Annex in Portland. 

Break out your favorite flannel and join us around the “campfire” at this outdoor-inspired event to enjoy:

• The unveiling of the winning photographs from our 15th annual Outdoor Photo Contest!
• A silent auction featuring rafting and adventure trips, outdoor gear and apparel, framed prints of Photo Contest finalists, and packages for hikers, fishing enthusiasts, kayakers, beer lovers, foodies, and more!
• Tasty vegan bites from Devil's Food Catering, wild-crafted cocktails poured by Merit Badge, local wine from Fullerton Wines, and brews from our Oregon Brewshed Alliance partners

- A costume contest for prom king and queen
- The well-known and loved food cart Taco Pedaler

Let's party!

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.

Join Opera Theater Oregon for a special performance of This Land Sings by Grammy® award winning composer Michael Daugherty. In the format of an old-time radio show, Daugherty has created 11 original songs and five instrumental pieces  blending original lyrics with music that often draws from the simple, yet enduring folk melodies that Guthrie would rework into his own songs. Daugherty’s stylistically eclectic work weaves the political, social, and environmental themes of Woody Guthrie’s era with poignant and contemporary relevance. Also on the program is rising composer Michael Lanci‘s award-winning Songs for Joe Hill, inspired by the protest songs of 19th Century labor activist Joe Hill. OTO’s presentation will be the NW premiere of both of these works! 

Look forward to performances by Hannah Penn, Daniel Mobbs, Helen Huang, Lisa Neher, and OTO directors Nicholas Meyer, Lisa Lipton and Justin Ralls with stage direction by Julia Bray – with a special appearance by Portland’s very own progressive talk radio host, Thom Hartmann as our radio announcer. Stay tuned for updates in the weeks to come!
