SPACE Gallery, in collaboration with a host of Portland arts organizations, alongside their numerous neighbors on Congress Street, will transform a portion of the Arts District along Congress Street into a temporary zone for artistic exploration and enjoyment. Block Party 2011 will feature site-specific installations and performances by Maine artists Greta Bank, Kimberly Convery, Sean O'Brian, and Lorem Ipsum Theater Productions, ranging from a mobile theater to a scale-model Godzilla film set!
Providence, RI's What Cheer? Brigade, a 19-piece street marching band, will ratchet up the party vibe with their irresistible New Orleans meets Samba meets Balkan Brass sound! Attendees will be able to witness the debut of Pickwick Independent Press' project "Analog Tweets", observe Shoot Media Project's "Newscast" in production, get in on the fun with The Children's Museum and Theatre of Maine's "Make Your Own Musical Instruments and Costume" station for kids, and pop-in to Mayo Street Arts' "Dress-Up Photo Booth" for an impromptu portrait session. With additional performances and projects from the ICA at MECA, Portland Ovations, Portland Stage, The Telling Room, Mensk, Sylvia Kania Gallery/Dooryard Collective and more, Block Party 2011 is bound to delight and surprise!
Saturday, September 10, 5-8PM, Congress Street, Portland
