Tucked within our neighborhoods we have an amazing number of “dance halls.” Many built in the 1920’s. They spoke to cultures, rich within our community. The exhibition includes drawings of dance and music, in collaboration with photo stories researched by David Edwards, highlighting Porltand’s dance hall history. There will be story telling from people who have personal experiences to share. (Bring Yours!)

Images of dance and music by the artist will be accompanied by historic photos and stories of dancehalls and ballrooms in Portland gathered by David Edwards.
