*keeping this dream alive one wall at a time
ARTCRANK returns to Portland for its third consecutive year, featuring new hand-made, bike-inspired posters created by 34 local artists. We’ve gotten such a great turnout over the past two years that we’re adding an extra day to the show this year. We’ll be at The Cleaners at The Ace Hotel for a First Thursday opening night party on October 6, and a special Saturday showing with extended hours on October 8. Admission is free, and limited edition copies of all posters will be available for $40 each.
At Thursday night’s Opening Night Party, Portland-based Widmer Brothers Brewing will provide a selection of craft beers, and ARTCRANK glassware will be sold to benefit Bikes To Rwanda, a nonprofit organization that provides specially designed “coffee bikes” to help Rwandan farmers transport their crops to market and create a sustainable local economy.
OPENS Thursday, October 6: 5:00pm – 11:00pm
CLOSES Saturday, October 8: 3:00pm – 8:00pm
