TUESDAY
COMMUNITY
Art & Conversation: Volcano!
The Portland Art Museum’s current exhibition Volcano! Mount St. Helens in Art commemorates the 40th anniversary of that great big eruption of 1980. For this talk, curator Dr. Dawson Carr will discuss the works of art depicting the volcano from the mid-1840s to today.
Biden Harris Phone Bank with Will Ferrell
To celebrate the Biden-Harris campaign’s endorsement of One Fair Wage, a nonprofit led by advocates for restaurant workers to end the sub-minimum wage for tip workers who make less than the minimum wage, join a remote phone-banking event with none other than professional elf/Swedish pop star/NASCAR superstar Will Ferrell.
Virtual Swift Watch
Portland Audubon’s fall ritual of watching the swifts (whose collective noun is, to our delight, a “screaming frenzy”) take flight from Chapman with their long fin-like wings will happen again this year, but you’re encouraged to watch virtually (or maybe from your car?) to prevent crowding in the park.
