SPACE Gallery BLOCK PARTY w/ Garotas Suecas

BLOCK PARTY! is an unprecedented event for SPACE Gallery, in collaboration with Portland Ovations, The Portland Museum of Art, Children's Museum & Theatre of Maine, Pickwick Independent Press, and our numerous neighbors on Congress Street.The shops, galleries and venues from One Longfellow Square down to Port City Music Hall will transform their “front yards" with the help of local artists. Stop by in front of the PMA to check out Andrea Zittel's Group Formerly Known as Smockshop installation and launch event. Make way for the steamroller making giant woodblock prints by some of your favorite Portland artists with Pickwick Press at the controls! Take the kids down the street for hands-on activities and performances provided by the Children's Museum & Theatre of Maine, plus giant grid games and a host of surprises as we once again close off a portion of Congress Street to celebrate the vitality of Portland's Arts District. And what block party is complete without dancing? At 7pm we'll be treated to a special outdoor performance by Sao Paulo, Brazil's Garotas Suecas who are making waves bringing the best tropicalia and soul to the northern hemisphere. This project is made possible with generous support from the Davis Family Foundation.
