I decided to crop and alter in Picnik the text I found on the glass--which is a cover over an apparently defunct stairway which must have gone beneath the sidewalk to I know not where. I like how Picnik gave the old gold-colored text a sort of rainbow look, much like the paper inside the glass. This is what I read, in case you can't make it out: The Portland Storefronts program provides local artists with the opportunity to activate vacant storefronts with one-of-a-kind and temporary art installations. This Portland Storefront installation is a joint initiative of the Downtown Marketing Initiative, Portland Business Alliance, the Downtown Clean & Safe District, and the Bill Naito Company.

Looks like an exciting show.
It looks neat, and a great way to give artist space to show their work.
Interesting piece of art. I really like it.
hmm... very colorful. i can see the diamonds now =)
I must say this is quite different and creative. I mean, who would think of using paper painted with enamel in such a way. Very colorful and exciting. It is wonderful that Portland assists such artists in displaying their work.

These are bright and colorful, Lynette.
The colorful streamers or hangers or whatever....
reminded me of the wind banners we used to make and hang. Also the Native Americans did something similar.
Sure makes a nice post.
You must take or spend or otherwise use a lot of time to be out and about and get all of these new, and beautiful, pictures.
Interesting!
