DRAWBRIDGE: Art Reception
DrawBridge
A reception showcasing the work of Portland’s little artists
Location: UO White Stag Building
70 NW Couch Street, Portland
Time & Date: Sunday, July 25th 2010, 1pm – 4pm
Yes! We would like to attend the DrawBridge Reception.
No. We won’t be able to join you.
PDX Bridge Festival is proud to present your child’s art work from the inaugural DrawBridge program.
Our teaching artists worked with third grade students at Capitol Hill Elementary, Forrest Park Elementary, Bridlemile Elementary, and Atkinson Elementary to create works of art depicting ways we use the bridges in our community. A select number of works will be presented on banners adorning the Burnside Bridge for the duration of this year’s festival, July 23rd – August 8th.
To honor all students who participated in DrawBridge, please join us at the UO White Stag Building for an opening reception where all art work will be on display, along with light refreshments and entertainment – featuring “Bridge Songs” with Miriam Feder and friends!. The reception is adjacent to the Burnside Bridge, allowing easy and safe pedestrian access to view the banners.
Banners are available to purchase for $100. All proceeds go to support the ongoing DrawBridge program, providing access to curriculum-based arts education to Portland schools. Please contact us here by email, if you would like to purchase a banner.

BATTLE FOR THE BRIDGE: by Wanderlust Circus
“Battle for the Bridge” presented by the PDX Bridge Festival
The Proudest Circus Family in Free Cascadia presents a fairytale retelling of our occluded city’s first boom, when barons of industry engineered the future of the Willamette River, and constructed the first of her celebrated steel spans.
Will our heroic band of acrobats, aerialists, and dancers ride the wave or succumb to the undertow; pitting their talent and inspiration against the industrial might of the notorious Captains Couch and Ankeny? From the Shipping Lanes to the Shanghai Tunnels, Wanderlust Circus tells the tale with liberal dollops of music, mischief, and melodramatic license.
SATURDAY, JULY 24th
Doors at 8, Show at 9
Get Tickets! $15 online or $20 at the door.

BRIDGE TOURS: with Sharon Wood Wortman
These Bridge Walks provide an unforgettable opportunity to take a tour with the woman who literally wrote the book on Portland’s bridges! Depending on the route (no two walks are ever exactly the same), you may visit the operator’s tower and bascule pit of the Morrison Bridge, test for synchronous vertical excitation, and make triangles with your bodies to “get” tension and compression. Walks are about a mile long, and usually cross three bridges, seeing eight in all. Some walks feature a poet or musician. ADA-accessible.
