The听Lents听Grown听Story Yard Project was developed by听ROSE, Youth Builders and the听Portland Development Commission听as a way to bring more art to the neighborhoods in Southeast Portland and involve youth in celebrating our multicultural business community. At PDC鈥檚 request, Propel Studio Architecture and ROSE Community Development created a joint art installation plan for 8801 SE Foster Road, which was completed in 2013. The images of local business owners and farmers market vendors were taken by local photographer Dawn DeAno.
At 小黄猫传媒’s request, ROSE reproduced the images as an indoor gallery format so the photography exhibit could travel the region. Take the time听to swing by the Answer Center in the Student Commons (first floor) to take a peek of the showing through the end of February.
