[ Time Out ]
En Plein Air:
Pack your smocks, and perhaps a
beret for this oh-so-French event
on the Portland Park Blocks,
right in front of the Portland Art
Museum. The museum is hosting
a giant outdoors art party, with
nature-inspired art projects for
the littles, an outdoor exhibition of
the park-inspired paintings made
by local “plein air” artists, and
free admission to this summer’s
blockbuster museum show, “The
Art of the Louvre’s Tuileries
Gardens.” The fun starts at noon
and goes until 5 p.m.; big kids can
stay out later for the free screening
of romantic comedy Gigi in the
museum’s courtyard at 8 p.m.
Sunday, August 10. FREE.

Dance, Dance Revolution:
Pack up your toe shoes, leotard and aspiring
ballerina or ballerino, and head to Pioneer
Courthouse Square in downtown PDX, when
the venerable Oregon Ballet Theater
moves their dance studio to the open
air. Kids and their grownups can
watch the dancers rehearse
for this fall’s untitled-asof-press-time premiere
ballet by choreographer
Nicolo Fonte, and even
take a class with OBT’s
faculty members and its
guest artists. It’s all FREE.
Monday, August 25-Thursday,
August 28. Check www.obt.org/
