ABOUT THE EXHIBITS
Favorite Things is a portrait and short film series depicting regional artists with items that are precious to them. Developed by Portland filmmaker and photographer Jason Hill, this work documents a collaboration wherein artists were instructed to share and speak about a favorite item in a studio setting. The results are an experiment with light and color to create magical portraits and filmed testimonials.
Wall To Wall Soul exhibit features photography, vinyl records, and poster art from Albina Music Trust's community archive. The show centers Albina's musical culture dating back to the 1940s and up to the current day. With an emphasis on the soul, jazz, and gospel music legacy of Portland's Black community, the exhibit aims to inform and transport visitors to a time when Paul Knauls' Cotton Club - a pillar in Albina’s Black community - was the “the only place on the West Coast with Wall To Wall Soul.”
The exhibits will be on view daily through January 12, 2025.
