Diversity of Portland's racial, ethnic and tribal communities merge with artwork at the monthly Colored Pencils Arts and Culture Night, scheduled April 24 at the Center for Intercultural Organizing office, 700 N. Killingsworth, Portland.
Since debuting in February, Colored Pencils Arts and Culture Night has drawn hundreds of Portlanders eager to share in the rich textures of cultures represented in our neighborhoods.
About one in five Portland resident is foreign-born, with growing populations of families from Latin America, Asia, Africa and Eastern Europe. Colored Pencils Arts and Culture Night brings together visual artists and performers from a wide variety of racial, ethnic and tribal backgrounds.
To celebrate the City of Portland's Intercultural Communications Month in April, city employees are heartily invited to attend the event to gain insight into the vibrant fabric of our local community.
The event, held every last Friday of the month, is organized by Portland artist Nim Xuto and writer Ronault L.S. Catalani (Polo), in partnership with staff and volunteers from the Center for Intercultural Organizing, City of Portland Office of Human Relations, Colors of Influence online magazine and the Latino Network.
