April Arts, Culture, and Conversation Event Partners with Columbia Arts Guild
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
March 28, 2018
St. Helens, Ore. - The St. Helens Arts and Cultural Commission is teaming up with the Columbia Arts Guild for their monthly Arts, Culture, and Conversation event in April. Arts, Culture, and Conversation is a monthly opportunity for the community to meet with Arts and Cultural Commission (ACC) members in a relaxed setting to chat about various topics related to art and culture.
On Friday, April 13, the community is invited to drop by Running Dogs Brewery, 291 S. 1st Street, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. to talk with ACC Chair Jenn Farrington and Commissioner Leticia Juarez Sisson about April’s selected conversation topic: “What is public art, and what art would you like to see in St. Helens?”
The Columbia Arts Guild will be at Running Dogs Brewery during the event for attendees to participate in the “This is Us” St. Helens community art project. “This is Us” St. Helens was created to encourage the acceptance of public art through hands-on community involvement and to bring attention to the growing art community in St. Helens. Participants paint a three inch wooden house with acrylic paint to represent themselves in the community. All art supplies are provided by the Columbia Arts Guild. The goal is to have 5,000 community members paint houses by July 31, 2018. The individual houses will be used to create one large piece of community art that is scheduled for display this winter 2018 in the Plaza Square on the St. Helens Riverfront.
