You can view the giant mural 24 hours a day and it's completely free. The mural is incredibly detailed so Simpsons super nerds should allow some time to truly study it. It presents a great photo opportunity but be careful when taking pics: you have to stand in the middle of the street to get the entire thing in view. This is just so cool to pose in front of. One of the best-kept secrets in all of Springfield.

I was a little hesitant at first, but the kind gentleman reassured me and explained how to do it. This was also going to be the fastest and least expensive way for me to get my picture framed and also meet the deadline. The website was easy to use and I was able to select from a number of frames, mats, and glass or plexiglass. Three days later, my framing materials were ready. I picked it up the following day and the gentleman at the counter explained to me how to make sure and put it together correctly. I brought the picture home and put it together, and the result was beautiful. I highly recommend this frame shop for their excellent service and cost effective Do-it-yourself framing --if that's some thing you're keen to try. I'm sure having the piece professionally framed would have resulted in excellent quality work as well. I would trust them to do this if that was something I needed in the future.

More than slightly irritating was a situation that potters quarter could have at least contained the overly loud adults. We had a nice chill and creative time planned with the grandkids. It when we arrived it was chaos. There was a young elementary girls party going on that had food, drinks and many screaming girls. When something was funny the parents were loudest! It's like the rented the whole place for themselves to be as wild as they wanted with no courtesy for others - except for the fact that they didn't. I'm not a party pooper. I'm not a buzz kill. I'm totally glad we get back to real life and some def fun- for everyone! So let's still be polite. Let's still be aware of our surroundings. Let's respect the others in the room ! What about indoor voices ? What about "read the room"? Oh no , you couldn't do that because you were all acting like you were at a park ! When I say screams and outlandish laughs it was over the top ! Never mind I had someone with me that's slightly on the spectrum. So we are clearly more than just irritating everyone. It's completely besides that because this wasn't even just a normal delightful squeals that is usually just enough to make you smile if you delight in several children in a good mood! Yeah I said I wasn't a cranky old woman! But really ???? One, next time rent out the whole place. Two, if you can't then know that others are also trying to have fun too. Three, why would you purposely be that Karen? And Karen's kids that will turn into the Karen because Karen don't k ow any better to do better. Sad.

I have known their work when they showed in Portland galleries such as 1430 and RocksBox. The clean white space has gallery walls set up inside a vast industrial high ceiling building. For a large opening event, they had a coat check, beer and wine, and they have a small selection of printed matter for sale. They have limited hours and are only open select months of the year. Their regular hours and events are on their website and socials. You can contact them to visit by appointment other times in their season. On my visit was the thesis show by UO MFA students. AI-generated video was in evidence along with mixed media sculpture. It is in the Booth-Kelly Makers District. Part is an industrial area East of the Willamette and South of downtown on the wrong side of the tracks in a good way. Before Homer Simpson and the nuclear plant, the Booth-Kelly lumber mill was a major employer, from 1901 when they bought the Springfield Mill, to 1931 when they closed as a result of the Great Depression. In the industrial part here is also a large brick building which was the biomass electricity plant that ran the mill and Eugene-Springfield. The city parks school buses. School buses when parked seek the most basic real estate to minimize school budgets. So if you are looking for cheap space, they are a good indicator. The Booth-Kelly trail starts there. The entire project is owned and operated by the City to host and incubate small businesses. The parking is gravel, so you already know NW puddles. Wear appropriate footwear. The lots are clean and the buildings keep up with waste collection. Ditch Projects is the Springfield-Eugene nonprofit contemporary art gallery. There is enough space for the work to breathe. If you visit Eugene, they would be a good resource on local contemporary visual art.
