I wanted to get out the word about a fundraiser I’m attending on Friday. The nonprofit Creative Collaborations is throwing a fundraising event June 29th at Salmon Street Studios so that a new monthly community marketplace can be launched on the second Wednesday of every month, starting July the 11th. This marketplace will allow artists, performers and all creative entrepreneurs to show and sell their work without charge. I am planning on being a participating vendor if the fundraiser is successful, but they need to raise $1500 to get the ball rolling and get a private lot for the art fair at Water Ave & Salmon St right next to the waterfront. The Rogue will be providing beer and the Montage is providing food, and there will be lots of musical entertainment. There is a $5-10 sliding scale fee at the door and it is a “21 and over” event. Come by and help a new Portland art event get it’s start!
