Hello UAN Artists!

The 21st Season

There are 5 remaining First Thursday Street Gallery events this season. Our return is enthusiastically supported by the City of Portland, The Pearl District Neighborhood Association, and The Pearl District Business Association. There is interest and excitement about our return and our event growing. Events will follow social distancing guidelines, and within the street gallery we request masks be worn both by vendors and patrons.

Portland First Thursday Artists

We are adding 1/2 a block in June, keeping space for social distancing. The evening forecast looks great, and we have some spaces for walk-ins.
