Here’s another Portland Project on Kickstarter.com, only 48 hours left to donate:
Here’s the description:
The Portland Eastbank Esplanade Project (PEEP) will temporarily transform the 1.5-mile long Vera Katz Eastbank Esplanade into an open-air exhibition space for public art, music, and performance, showcasing new and existing work by regional creatives. This is part of the PDX Bridge Festival’s “Left Bank” Initiative to celebrate 10 years of this connective public space with site-specific installations utilizing new technologies, music, public interaction, spoken word, and live artistic demonstrations. The call for submissions to PEEP will be open to individual sculptural artists, projection mappers, lighting designers, improv groups, sound artists, dancers, poets, knitting collectives, or any artist(s) working in a similarly public medium. Our plan is to offer small stipends for accepted artists to help fund their creative endeavors. Want to know more about how your donations will be used to support PEEP and the Left Bank Project?

PDX Bridge Festival is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a mission to raise public awareness and foster appreciation of the Willamette River Bridges through educational, historical, cultural and artistic programming. In our first year (2010), we produced almost 60 events at 27 venues around the city, setting new standards for how a collaborative and wildly creative approach to civic events can result in a celebration of lasting significance. Our bridge art installations brought almost a million commuters into a close encounter with public art, and our Brunch on the Bridge event transformed the Hawthorne Bridge into a grassy park fit for a picnic of thousands, complete with trees, picnic tables, and a croquet field! This year, the festival will take place from July 29 – August 7. More information about PEEP and our various events and programs in 2011 can be found at our website: www.pdxbridgefestival.org
Project location: Portland, OR
