Inspiring Art on 5th Ave! | |
We had the unveiling of the Camas Culture Art Block art installation on 5th Ave in Downtown Camas and we couldn’t have been happier! This was a true Main Street project bringing partners together on many levels and bringing increased art and vitality to another street in downtown!
Thank you to student Maria Navarro Alejandres for her inspiration, Miranda Wakeman her art mentor who helped all the students involved, to all our incredible student artists that have shared their art and culture, to Ziply Fiber for their partnership, to Derick Paulson our patient and flexible installer, to Minuteman Press for printing, to the DCA Design Committee for their collaboration and to all the families and people who came out to share in this special event. Attic Gallery allowed us to host the reception there, Ziply sponsored it and everyone was well fed with food from all the different cultures included in the panels. A meaningful event all around and we are so very grateful!
Come enjoy it! See the installation on 5th Ave (across from Bookish) in beautiful Downtown Camas! You can scan the QR codes there to learn more about the art and artists. Such goodness!
