Mural Painting Recap

Saturday's MNA Street Art Project mural painting event was a tremendous success with outstanding turnout! Over 100 volunteers turned out to help paint a new mural designed and directed by professional muralist, Amaranta Colindres on the pavement at SW 36the Ave & Canby St--go check it out! Its illuminated under a street lamp at night. See any signs of village life portrayed?

This 12 hour event featured support from about 15 core planning volunteers, dozens of neighbors and community member volunteers, The City Repair Project, and generous support from local businesses including Tastebud's donation of lunch for volunteers.

Attendees mingled with representatives from Mayor Wheeler's office and the offices of county & city commissioners, and transportation. We expect this mural to be enjoyed for a long time to come!

Walk Event With City Repair

The mural painting was the penultimate event in the MNA Street Art Project event series. Please stay tuned this week for updates regarding the final event, the "imagining" walk with MNA and City Repair for the purpose of brainstorming, as a group, new placemaking projects at sites around the neighborhood. Updates to come.

The big mural painting day is Saturday! We're ready to do this and excited to see you there (details below).

THE MURAL DESIGN

Professional Portland muralist Amaranta Colindres (Website, Instagram) has submitted final touches to the street mural design, which will soon be displayed on the a-frame sign next to the SW 36th Ave & Canby St intersection where it is to be installed on the pavement June 17. The inspiration for the design is a type of textile art from her son's indigenous lineage of the Kuna Yala people, called Mola. The design will allow for organic solutions to emerge on the day of painting to address the negative space in between the characters. It also cuts our use of paint in these areas in half, as the concrete will show in the areas not painted. (See attachment for full diagram of mural on street). Our paint order is going in Tuesday.

WORD CLOUD

Amaranta's mural design was created in dialog with the local community. Earlier this spring over a series of public forums and other processes of soliciting diverse community input, we collected suggestions for themes and ideas that could be represented in this art. That large list of words and phrases was compiled into a "word cloud," or graphic summary of the written input about suggested artistic themes (see attached word cloud image). The word cloud was used by Amaranta to inform her design for the 36th & Canby space.

ASL INTERPRETATION DURING JUNE 17 EVENT

We're excited to announce that we're working to provide American sign language (ASL) interpretation during portions of the June 17 event. More details coming soon.

JUNE 17 DONATIONS

We're expecting Home Depot (Tigard store) to donate many of the remaining painting supplies we need. We are still seeking ideas and folks to bring block party activities (e.g., bubble machine, lawn games, children's art supplies, sidewalk chalk, etc). Please reply to this email if you're interested to help with that.

RECENT EVENTS UPDATES

MAY 15 NEIGHBOR MEETING

On 5/15 intersection neighbors near 36th Ave & Canby and lead volunteers gathered to meet the mural artist, discuss a draft design, June 17 event planning, and a mural maintenance plan. It was a wonderful opportunity to meet folks in person and coordinate (photo attached!).

MURAL MAINTENANCE PLAN

The purpose of intersection murals are to build community and provide public art. They are owned by the community that installs them and at the May 15 event neighbors began detailing the stewardship plan. A mural stewardship committee of 3 neighbors will include 2 neighbors to co-lead the mural maintenance plans, 1 to store paint supplies. This committee is invited to work with the MNA Community Events to request city funds toward touchup paint. Regular maintenance check-ins will occur, the first of which is planned for summer 2024. Touch up "re-painting” events organized by the committee will be fun social gatherings, quicker and less expensive than the initial painting.

AMARANTA COLINDRES (Website, Instagram)

Amaranta Colindres is a fine artist, mural painter and art teacher, based in Portland, Oregon. She was born in El Salvador and raised in California. Amaranta studied graphic design and fine art formally at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco and at CSU East Bay in Hayward, CA. Her work is heavily influenced by her participation in ritual and spiritual teachings of indigenous peoples and her regard for her heritage, which includes Mayan, Caribbean/Nigerian, Spanish, German, and Hungarian ancestry. Her creativity is infused with a deep affinity for the natural world, especially animal life. Amaranta enjoys making custom art for others, including pet and person portraits, landscapes, murals and painted clothing.

She is the Executive Director of the nonprofit Four Directions Art Project, which provides art experiences to those with socioeconomic barriers. Her focus allows people who have experienced trauma to find healing through the art-making process.

Amaranta has a passion for teaching and provides instruction to individuals or groups, both adults and children. She also facilitates collaborative team-building murals for corporate events and live paintings (e.g., LinkedIn, Peete's Coffee, Taste of Oakland, Earth Day San Francisco, First Friday/Art Murmur, and Treasure Island Music Festival, among others).

CITY REPAIR VBC

Our team continues to attend weekly City Repair meetings Thursday evenings to prepare for our participation in the annual summer flagship event, the Village Building Convergence (VBC - city wide program schedule coming soon). Our VBC event is the June 17 mural painting. Email us if you'd like to join us at City Repair Thursday meeting (see schedule).

PERMITTING STATUS

NEIGHBOR COMMUNICATION

Upcoming this week additional communication to residents near the 36th & Canby mural site will be distributed providing a link to our website for June 17 event details and an intersection neighbor primary point of contact.

CALL TO MURAL ARTISTS NOW OPEN!

The MNA Street Art Project is announcing an open call to mural artists. Applications are due by midnight on Friday, April 7, 2023. $1,000 sponsorship funds are available to hire an artist to design a street intersection mural this spring and coordinate the painting of the design with volunteers this summer. For information and TO APPLY CLICK HERE. The due date is approaching, but the application is also brief.

MNA STREET ART PROJECT SCOPE OF WORK

We're working with City Repair to explore with our community ways of fostering thriving, inclusive environments by retrofitting the neighborhood with creative use of public space (e.g., street murals and more. Detail here). We've been working collaboratively using input from the community to define our scope of work. With sponsorship funds from Civic Life, we currently intend for our project through summer 2023 to:

Hire an artist to design and coordinate painting of one street intersection mural, at SW 36th & Canby (pending approval). The painting is a collaborative effort including many volunteers. Tentative painting dates include June 17 and rain delay backup date over the July 1. (General info on PBOT Street Mural Guide).

Explore the possibility of painting a second intersection mural using separately fundraised money beyond the Civic Life sponsorship funds. This could result in two thematically similar intersection murals, one on each side of the village business district in residential but high pedestrian traffic locations.

Explore the possibility to host a community walk and "visioning" event with City Repair. We would tour with residents several points of interest in the neighborhood (e.g., SW 35 Ave & Falcon if the sliplane in closed) and collectively brainstorm the potential for what these spaces could become--for future plans.

Complete City Repair weekly trainings as participants in the 2023 Village Building Convergence. Volunteers are welcome to join us, see schedule.

Host a series of events in our neighborhood for the purpose of community building (e.g., T-Horse) with the intention of also including elected officials and educational components. See our current schedule of events.

ARTIST & DESIGN

A diverse panel will review applications from the call to artist and complete a jurying process to select an artist by mid April. The artist and community members will then engage in collaborative dialog leading to a final design. With that final design a PBOT mural permit will be submitted. Following its approval neighbors adjacent to the proposed mural site will have the opportunity to consent prior to June 17. Find detail on this process in our call to artist and PBOT Street Mural Guide.

GUEST SPEAKER MARK LAKEMAN (CITY REPAIR CO-FOUNDER)

Join us April 11 7PM for our next MNA general meeting, now in hybrid format in person at Riversgate Church Lobby or via zoom. The MNA Community Events Committee has invited guest speaker Mark Lakeman, co-founder of The City Repair Project!
