TEXT AND PHOTOGRAPHS BY K.B. DIXON
While our local art galleries are no longer quite closed, they are not yet fully open. Things are headed in the right direction, but restrictions still abound. Back in April 2020 I did a photographic survey of an alternative venue for the depressed aesthete—a venue offering a safe, in-person experience: the open-air museum that is Portland’s street art. There was plenty to see thanks to an industrious guild of talented muralists. The photographs here (all taken in 2021) are Part 2 of that survey.
For further information about Portland street art, I refer you to the Portland Street Art Alliance.
And to see the murals in Part 1 of this series, from April 2020, look here.
