Take a Tour of Recent Portland Street Art

In April, the nonprofit Portland Street Art Alliance put out a call to local businesses interested in having a Portland artist create temporary murals on their property

The number of businesses in Portland with plywood covering their windows right now casts an eerie pall even on sunny spring days. Of course, many of those boarded-up businesses are just waiting to reopen. In April, the nonprofit Portland Street Art Alliance put out a call to local businesses interested in having a Portland artist create temporary murals on their property—a way to both beautify the urban landscape, and give artists some much-needed work. Here's a look at some of the standouts so far.
