Podcast appearances and mentions of chloe eudaly

In this episode of the Dive Podcast, we interview Portland City Commissioner Mingus Mapps. Fresh off his victory over incumbent Chloe Eudaly, Mapps has had a rollercoaster first few months. Between working to bring the city back from COVID-19, dealing with the homelessness crisis, police reform, and so much more, Mapps has had a front-row seat as he and his colleagues attempt to solve the city's biggest issues. We talk to Mapps about all of these topics in a spirited conversation. Thanks so much for listening to episode 25 and come back next week for the third installment of our 10 part guest speaker series. It'll be a banger, for sure.

In this special episode, we're sharing an extended conversation with Portland City Commissioner Chloe Eudaly, who is leaving office this week after one term in City Hall.

The Local today has the quick six, and then a long-form interview with Chloe Eudaly, candidate for city council position four.

Commissioner Chloe Eudaly, the incumbent candidate for City Council Position 4, speaks with Emily Gilliland. How do you get things done on Portland City Council? How long does it really take to make change? How does serving as an elected official transform you? For more information: https://www.votechloe.com/. (Recorded 10/21/20)

We pose a set of questions about resilience and local government to Portland City Commissioner Chloe Eudaly, whose seat is up for election November 2020. Check out the main episode to hear Mingus Mapps, who is running against Commissioner Eudaly, answer the same set of questions.

When Chloe Eudaly beat then-Portland City Commissioner Steve Novick four years ago, it was the first time in many years an incumbent had lost a race. But now Eudaly faces a runoff election from challenger Mingus Mapps, who has earned many prominent endorsements. Eudaly and Mapps will discuss neighborhood planning, police reform, and more in this debate.

For Portlanders, one of the most important issues on the ballot is the runoff election for city council between incumbent Chloe Eudaly and challenger Mingus Mapps. We talk with both candidates about how they can help tackle Portland's biggest issues.

Commissioner Chloe Eudaly stunned an incumbent four years ago to win her seat on the Portland City Council. Now she's the one facing serious challengers, including former Portland Mayor Sam Adams. We preview the May 19 primary.

An already chaotic season in Portland city politics ratcheted way up recently when Sam Adams entered the fray. The former Portland mayor brings a deep bench of allies into the race -- and he's got one of the city's most liberal commissioners in his sights. On this week's episode of OPB Politics Now, we talk about the upcoming political fight between Sam Adams and Chloe Eudaly.

On this week’s episode of OPB Politics Now, we talk about the upcoming political fight between Sam Adams and Chloe Eudaly.

Portland is making changes to the way it relates to neighborhood groups. This includes neighborhood associations and the community safety program formerly known as "neighborhood watch." We'll sit down with Portland City Commissioner Chloe Eudaly to talk about the philosophy behind these changes.

This week: Developers are warning that Portland's inclusionary housing requirement is causing a construction slowdown that could exacerbate the city's shortage of housing; Portland commissioner Chloe Eudaly is exploring avenues for increasing city revenue, including a personal income tax on top earners and a vacancy tax on apartment buildings; and cities and states across the U.S. are looking to Minneapolis for creative ways to solve the housing crisis.

This week: The Portland City Council plans to take up the matter of new rental screening criteria proposed by commissioner Chloe Eudaly on Thursday, October, 18th. The Portland Housing Bureau has loosened inclusionary zoning rules for condos; the mayor of Milwaukie, Oregon says that housing affordability is in crisis and plans to hold discussions for implementing a renter relocation policy like Portland's along with policies that encourage increased density.

Chloe Eudaly didn’t finish high school, but she still managed to beat a Harvard Law School graduate to become one of 8 woman ever elected to Portland City Council in 2016. A local book-store owner for decades, she was out-raised nearly 5 to 1 and yet still became the first candidate to beat an incumbent since 1992. Hear our conversation about she pulled off such an upset, how being a single-mom impacted her campaign, her thoughts on how legalizing marijuana has affected Oregon, and more. 3:00 - Chloe talks about having to close her bookstore. 3:45 - How do you go from running a bookstore to running for office and beating an incumbent for the first time since 1992? 8:20 - What was the reaction from close friends about you running for office? 8:45 - How much did you raise? 10:00 - Did you think you had a chance after getting 28% of the vote in the run-off? 11:10 - What was the reaction from the Democratic Party when you announced? 12:30 - Did anybody talk to you about dropping out? 13:30 - How has your son having cerebral palsy affected your political view points? 15:10 - What was the darkest time of the campaign? 16:30 - What is the biggest lesson you’ve learned since being in office? 20:20 - When did Oregon legalize marijuana and what has the experience been? 23:20 - What lessons learned would you pass on to other legislators about legalizing marijuana? 26:30 - How has the heroin epidemic affected Portland? Any progress with policy? And has legalizing marijuana affected the situation? 31:30 - What would you say to someone who is considering running for office? 35:30 - What can we do as a country to come together again?

The squeeze on Portland's real estate market has sent artists scampering for affordable space. On Feb. 28, Portland city leaders will bring a year's worth of research to bear with two dozen recommendations aimed at preserving the arts spaces that remain and clearing a path for the studios, galleries and venues of tomorrow. We’re going to spend this hour looking at those recommendations and getting some innovative ideas that are not in the plan.Towne Storage - Where Are They Now?There are many artists and arts groups that have been priced out of their space. But one of the stories that stayed with us was Towne Storage. A 100-year-old warehouse in the Central Eastside, its brick walls and wood floors housed hundreds of creative businesses for decades — artists, photographers, musicians, booksellers and much more. We caught up with a few artists who used to work there.The Vision: Commissioners Nick Fish and Chloe Eudaly - 5:48City Commissioners Nick Fish and Chloe Eudaly, working in concert with Mayor Ted Wheeler, will present a series of two dozen recommendations aimed at preserving the city’s creative space. Their work has been deeply informed by Towne Storage and other projects, as well as by case studies from other West Coast cities. We sat down with both of them this week to hear more about what they’re proposing.Proposal I: Re-Establish the Arts Concierge - 9:21The minute you start asking around about creative space in Portland, there’s a guy everyone tells you to see: Ken Unkeles. The owner of five industrial buildings filled with maker space, he’s played a long-term strategy to turn inexpensive buildings into artist studios, while staying in the black. His secret weapon? A lone employee at the Bureau of Development Services, Suzanne Vara. Vara’s mandate was to help shepherd small businesses through the complex permitting process. One of Commissioner Fish and Eudaly’s proposals involves recreating Vara’s unique role.Proposal XV: Creative Districts — 18:17Another proposal up for consideration this month would ask Portland to designate creative districts. By drawing bright lines around a neighborhood rich with artists, music or other makers, in hopes of influencing design and permitting decisions. Seattle is already doing this. Our colleague Marcie Sillman from sister station KUOW in Seattle sent us this case study.Proposal XV: A Dedicated Real Estate Investment Model — 24:16Some arts non-profits would dearly love to buy their own building and leave behind the uncertainties of leasing space. We were fascinated by a nonprofit in San Francisco that’s helping arts groups do it: the Community Arts Stabilization Trust. Reporter Cy Musiker at KQED in San Francisco tells how it works. Then, we speak with Moy Eng, executive director of CAST, to talk about whether her group’s model could work in a smaller city.Proposal VI: Incentivize Creative Space — 34:50Fish and Eudaly’s proposals include a recommendation that the Revenue Bureau consider ways to make it more viable for commercial developers to build creative space into their buildings. Portland’s most famous experiment of this kind is Milepost 5. Perched on Northeast 82nd Avenue, the complex is full of condos and apartments for artists. But it has something of a mixed legacy, and the building is about to change hands. We check in with Milepost 5 at 10 years, and talk with the project’s developer, Brad Malsin.Zidell Yards Will Reshape Portland's Skyline — With Arts at the Table — 45:10The clanging of steel on steel that filled the air for a half century of barge building at the Zidell Yards went silent when the company launched its barge business last year. But consider this quiet on the 33- acre-stretch of land spreading out under the Ross Island Bridge along the Willamette River’s west like a field gone to fallow. Zidell Yards is waiting to be reborn as an enormous, new, multi-use development: office space, housing, parks, and restaurants, with, if the Zidell family has its way, affordable arts space interwoven throughout. We catch up with Charlene Zidell and some of the arts groups imagining how they might make a new model with arts co-working space, a flexible performance hall, and an ambitious public art plan that spreads across Zidell Yards, OHSU, and OMSI's coming development. Can they create a new center of gravity for the arts?

This week on "State of Wonder," exclusive sessions with singer-songwriter Josh Ritter and the epic band Typhoon, new ideas to preserve Portland's arts spaces, musician Laura Veirs branches into podcasting and children's books, and more.City Council Seeks to Preserve Arts Spaces with New ProposalsSo many Oregon cities are going through catalytic change because of rising real estate costs, and the front-line casualties include galleries, stages, clubs and artist studios. Most recently, Artists Repertory Theatre in Portland proposed selling half its building. At a work session this week, Portland City Council showed signs it may be ready to take action with a list of about two dozen recommendations for preserving arts and creative space, ranging from creating a new zoning category for creative spaces to an arts concierge in City Hall and giving arts groups priority pick of surplus city real estate.Former RACC Director Eloise Damrosch on the Future of Portland Arts - 4:19In the seventeen years that Eloise Damrosch was at the helm of the Regional Arts and Culture Council, she had a 10,000-foot view of the seismic changes in the city’s arts scene. She retired in 2017, paving the way for an executive search, now in its eighth month. It’s clear that the task ahead for the next generation of arts leaders is a heavy lift. Damrosch joined us this week to talk about her time at RACC and about this list of ideas on preserving creative space from commissioners Nick Fish and Chloe Eudaly.Live opbmusic Session with Typhoon - 11:49The band Typhoon is back this week with "Offerings," another record of songs made with finesse and ferocity. But this new release finds frontman and songwriter Kyle Morton going to strange and dark places, as it imagines one man’s descent into memory loss and madness. With as many as eleven musicians, this band has never lacked for ambition, but the high-concept music in “Offerings” raises the bar. The Silent Film Classic "The Passion of Joan of Arc" Gets a Soaring Live Soundtrack - 25:10For years, one of the worlds greatest films was thought lost, only to be discovered in a custodial closet in Norway. Carl Dreyer’s 1928 silent film, “The Passion of Joan of Arc,” will be screened at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall on Jan. 26 in a most unique way: Portland Youth Philharmonic’s chamber orchestra will perform Richard Einhorn’s oratorio “Voices of Light” live to accompany the film, along with a slew of soloists and vocal ensembles including the female vocal ensemble In Mulieribus and three Portland State University choirs. We spoke with the composer Richard Einhorn and PYP's musical director David Hattner, who conducted a similar production in New York City in 2006 to glowing reviews. The "New York Times" asked whether it was Einhorn's "Voices of Light" that accompanied the film, or the film that accompanied the music?Musician Laura Veirs on Her Children's Book and New Podcast - 35:08In 2018, Portland singer-songwriter Laura Veirs puts down her guitar and picks up the interview mike for a new podcast, "Midnight Lightning," where she talks to musician moms, charting all the insane things they do to keep their careers and families on track. From rootsy pickers to funk rockers, there’s one thing they all have in common, she says: “Guilt. That was the main thing everyone said. They feel guilty. Especially the touring moms. And then gratitude. ‘I’m grateful I get to do this.’” Veirs also tells us about the children’s book she just published about an early folk singer, “Libba: The Magnificent Musical Life of Elizabeth Cotten.”Josh Ritter Plays Sisters - 44:46Singer-songwriter Josh Ritter is coming to Central Oregon for a concert at the Sisters Folk Festival Winter Concert Series on Jan. 23. The Idaho native’s a big get for them. In addition to his accomplishments as a musician, Ritter also wrote a "New York Times" best-selling novel in 2011, "Bright’s Passage," about a farm boy caught up in World War I. We listen back to a conversation and performance on OPB’s Think Out Loud the year the book came out.

Mid-winter blues got you down? We've got the remedy for that. Whether its getting outside in the darkest time of year for a European-style light festival, hearing music from one of Portland's premiere Americana stars, or meeting Portland's brand new city commissioner, Chloe Eudaly, this week's show is guaranteed to warm your soul.Chloe Eudaly on Her Big Step from Indie Bookstore Owner to City Commissioner - 1:23Chloe Eudaly started work as Portland’s newest commissioner amid a winter weather event that shut down city offices. In a town wracked by tumultuous gentrification, Eudaly is a single mom, a renter, and an eastsider who beat a much better-funded incumbent. In her first act as Commissioner, Eudaly has put up a proposal requiring landlords to pay relocation costs when tenants are evicted without cause that will go before council on Feb. 2. The Portland Winter Light Festival Shines Away the S.A.D. - 11:08You can stay in and be cozy at this time of year; no one would blame you. But the Portland Winter Lights Festival is giving you a reason to head outside on Feb. 1–4. Now in its second year, the fest fills Portland's waterfront between OMSI and the Zidell Yards with flashing drones, epics projections, other crazy light art and free events to celebrate the spirit of winter and the warmth of community. What It Takes to Design an Iconic Album Cover - 17:32So much goes into the making of a great record, but sometimes it’s the album art that bumps a great record into the realm of the iconic. Think about the collection of famous faces on the front of the Beatles “Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band” or that baby bobbing in the pool on the cover of Nirvana’s "Nevermind," or that very trippy prism on Pink Floyd’s "Dark Side of the Moon." Portland is home to many artists, and opbmusic welcomed two innovative designers, Orion Landau of the indie metal record label Relapse and Aaron Draplin of Draplin Design Company, into the studio to chat about their careers and which album covers inspire them. PDX Jazz Brings Music and Art to the Classroom - 24:54How do you get kids to understand a musical form that has no rules, no walls? Art can help. Volunteers with PDX Jazz have spent the winter fanning out in metro-area schools, playing music for kids and talking to them about jazz history. Teachers like Katie Robinson at Boise-Eliot/Humboldt then work with the kids on designing jazz album covers. All the students’ work will be part of a Feb. 7 art show at the Ace Hotel's event space, The Cleaners, in Portland. Douglas County Voters Grapple with their Vote to Close the Libraries - 28:39As a kid, do you remember trips to the library? Story time? Or maybe you stop by as an adult to get books and movies or use the computers. Douglas County readers will no longer have that option. In the November election, they failed to pass a measure that would create a special taxing district to fund the libraries, and now all of the branches of the Douglas County Library System, centered around Roseburg, will close by the end of May. Live Music from Americana Chameleon Tony Furtado - 34:46Songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Tony Furtado is an Americana chameleon. He effortlessly shifts between bluegrass, folk, blues, old time, and rock sounds. It’s a fascinating career arc that was beautifully captured in his most recent release, a live album called “Cider House Sessions” recorded at Portland’s Reverend Nat’s Hard Cider. Writer Sallie Tisdale on Mining the Deeply Personal - 40:31The Portland writer Sallie Tisdale is one of Oregon’s true literary treasures. She’s the author of eight books, including “Talk Dirty to Me” and “Stepping Westward,” but she is first and foremost an essayist — someone who can make art out of her process of trying to make sense of the world. Her latest book, "Violation," is a collection of essays that she wrote over the past three decades.

Goodbye Reading Frenzy, hello SW 4th Ave. We sit down with Portland's new City Commissioner, Chloe Eudaly. Her meteoric rise from indie bookseller to Council parallels the city's growing unease with growth, gentrification, and the status quo. This is the first of several check-ins we'll bring you this year.

It's a short, mid-week edition of the podcast because…Thanksgiving. We're talking about a really interesting item we didn't get to in our post-election coverage: Portland's newest city commissioner — Chloe Eudaly. The bookstore owner and housing advocate ran a modest campaign and pulled off a surprising win against incumbent Steve Novick. Host Geoff Norcross talks with OPB reporter Amelia Templeton about Eudaly's triumph, and how the political makeup of the City Council will change.

War Cartoonist Joe Sacco on How Portland's Housing Crisis Is Like a Refugee CrisisYou might find and unusual comic stuffed in your mailbox or slipped under the door in the coming weeks. Titled "Rent Crisis," it's by the award-winning Portland journalist and artist Joe Sacco. He’s spent his life creating wry black-and-white comics about people who live in war zones like Palestine, Bosnia, and Chechnya, but his latest project focuses on a conflict closer to home. Sacco’s friends with Chloe Eudaly, who owns the independent bookstore Reading Frenzy and is running for a seat on Portland’s city council, and this six-page comic came from a day they spent traveling around Portland interviewing people who are struggling to pay the rent.Physical Education Works Up a Sweat - 6:46Some issues have to be worked out on the dance floor. Which is one reason four Portland performers — keyon gaskin, Allie Hankins, Lu Yim, and Takahiro Yamamoto — came together to form Physical Education. What began as four friends getting together for a meal evolved into a published reading list, open meetups, workshops, performances, and now a year-long residency at the Pacific Northwest College of Art's Center for Contemporary Art and Culture. Comic Bri Pruett - 14:21Portland comic Bri Pruett is a tireless performer. She has made a name for herself for taking on everything from her Clackamas childhood to her own body with fearlessness and wit. August Wilson's Widow on Portland Playhouse's Staging of His Autobiography - 22:41The late August Wilson was hugely influential in shaping the narratives of black life in theaters. His “American Century Cycle” is a series of ten plays about African-American life over the course of the 20th century — one per decade. Portland Playhouse, under the direction of Brian Weaver, is methodically working its way through the Cycle, creating a whole new audience for Wilson in Portland. And this fall, Portland Playhouse is offering another sample of Wilson’s work that few audiences nationwide have seen: his one-man, autobiographical show “How I Learned What I Learned,” through Nov. 6. Think Out Loud spoke with Wilson's widow, Constanza Romero, a Seattle-based, Tony-nominated costume designer, about the life and work of her late husband. Aunt Jemima, Buckwheat, and Don’t Shoot — Painter Arvie Smith on Why None of This Is New - 30:26When you see Pacific Northwest College of Art Professor Emeritus Arvie Smith’s vivid, explosive paintings at the Portland Art Museum later this month, you might think they were created last week. But to know Smith’s decades-spanning work is to realize that there’s nothing new about what happened in Minneapolis and Baton Rouge this month. He tells us about his art and life, which is book-ended on one end by the Jim Crow South and on the other by smart phone videos capturing the shooting of black Americans by police.Filmmaker Irene Taylor Brodsky Chases Slenderman to the Internet's Darkest Corners - 37:02In 2014, two Wisconsin girls attacked one of their friends with a knife. They said they did it to please Slenderman, an internet boogeyman often depicted as a tall, faceless villain in a dark suit. Slenderman is a work of fiction — he was invented as part of a web contest to create a new horror figure — but that hasn’t stopped him from capturing the minds of children across the country.The award-winning Portland filmmaker Irene Taylor Brodsky spent 18 months following the trial of the two girls, Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier. The result is the documentary “Beware the Slenderman.” opbmusic Session: Okkervil River - 42:03For almost two decades, Okkervil River has been the main artistic outlet for songwriter Will Sheff. The band had some critical success, but Sheff became unhappy with the creative direction of the past few years. Instead of dissolving the band and starting over from scratch, though, he made an unconventional decision. He kept the band name, but made a hard reset.

This week is all about Portland city politics. Host Geoff Norcross along with Senior Political Reporter Jeff Mapes and reporter Amelia Templeton dig into the Portland Police union contract that sparked protests earlier this week when the City Council voted to approve it. You'll also hear about one of the more interesting local races on the 2016 ballot between City Commissioner Steve Novick and challenger Chloe Eudaly. And we'll end with some news of the weird with our "That's So Oregon" segment.

Doing the hard work never sounded so good. We turn to some veteran creatives this week for the antidotes to antic times.Drive-By Truckers' "American Band" Takes On A Mad World - 1:48Ever since coming together in Athens, Georgia, in 1996, The Drive-By Truckers have reinvented southern rock and its assumptions about identity and tradition. While the band has seen plenty of personnel changes over the years, the heart of the Truckers' sound is the musical partnership between Mike Cooley and Patterson Hood. The band played their entire new album, "American Band," for a lucky audience in the OPB studio, and talked about some of the stories and recent events that drove the song-writing. Contest Time: Flash Fiction From Tin House's Master Book Of Plots -14:54Portland/New York publisher Tin House is re-publishing an astonishing writers’ tool from 1928, called “Plotto: The Master Book of All Plots.” Author William Wallace Cook detailed some 1,462 plots to help struggling writers. Tin House held a national contest a few years ago with the first re-publication, and they’re doing it again this month to celebrate the paperback. For five weeks, beginning October 19th, Tin House will post a new plot each Wednesday, and writers will have until the following Monday to write a 500-word story based on it. The five winners will read their stories on State of Wonder, and we'll announce the grand prize winner. PAM's Big New Modern Building -20:40The Portland Art Museum announced a splashy capital project to build the Mark Rothko Pavilion between its existing two buildings. This $75 million expansion and endowment will be dedicated to painter and one-time Portlander and art museum student Mark Rothko. Equally exciting: Rothko's children have offered to loan rotating major works by the modernist master over the next 20 years.PNCA President Don Tuski on Challenges Facing the College - 21:52The new President of PNCA had barely been on the job two months when the college announced the suspension of its Critical Theory and Creative Research MFA program. Think Out Loud spoke with Tuski about why the move was made just days before classes were scheduled to begin. Tuski also addresses the need to boost student enrollment, the benefits of an art education, and his approach to making the most of PNCA's new home at 511 Broadway. Artist Malia Jensen on "Ground Effects" -27:31It's been great having contemporary artist Malia Jensen back in town. Since her return from an eleven-year stint in New York, she's shown work at Reed College's Case Works, Wieden + Kennedy, and collaborated with the dance ensemble Body Vox. Jensen's practice crackles with ideas and wit, delivered with a high level of craftsmanship. We talk to her about her October exhibition, “Ground Effects,” on view at Elizabeth Leach Gallery in Portland.Chloe Eudaly and Steve Novick Cross Swords On Housing -36:46The race for Portland City Council is heating up. Steve Novick, previously an environmental lawyer and political advisor, is seeking another term. Challenger Chloe Eudaly is an owner and co-founder of the ‘zine and bookstore Reading Frenzy. Ceramics Meets Rock & Roll at the LH Project -38:45Located at the base of the spectacular Wallowa Mountains, the LH Project has been called the Shangri-la of ceramics. Jakob Hasslacher founded the residency to bring world-class artists to one of the West's most stunning landscapes, but one group that's especially close to his heart returns year-after-year: veterans.Art Beat Serves Up Chris Antemann's Forbidden Fruit -48:17Ceramicist Chris Antemann has developed a gorgeous, eye-popping style of porcelain figures that shatter the dainty, mannered image of Neoclassical porcelain. Her alliance with the legendary German porcelain manufacturer, Meissen, has pushed her onto an international stage and a wider world of collectors.

They have supported numerous nonprofits over the years and Mac Pritchard explains to us why, especially for nonprofits it is vital to have a strategic plan for communications and marketing to reach their organizational goals.

The arts news is coming in size XL this week.Glass HousesIn Southeast Portland, residents continue to reel from news that they've been exposed to unhealthy levels of heavy metals in the air. As we reported last week, environmental regulators admitted they didn't know how much cadmium and arsenic were coming out of the Bullseye Glass facility. That is, until experimental testing using moss revealed this pollution hot spot. A lot of people have been asking how environmental rules allowed these pollutants to go undetected for years. EarthFix reporter Cassandra Profita looked into this, and into how the glass businesses are responding.Is Law Enforcement: A Laughing Matter? 5:42Hillsboro's Police Department is trying something new to improve the quality of its training.: officers are working with improv performers from Portland's Curious Comedy Theater. The Curious team usually goes for laughs, but there's nothing even remotely funny about the scenes they were acting out at the police training facility in Hillsboro recently.Portland Candidates on the Arts - 12:42We've got a new page up charting where the mayoral and city council candidates stand on arts and culture issues — and it’s pretty revealing. This week, we introduce you to several more of the people seeking elected office in Portland: Fred Stewart, Chloe Eudaly, and Sean Davis.Filmmaker Irene Taylor Brodsky: Blindness in Nepal and the Slender Man - 20:56Irene Taylor Brodsky has made a number of award-winning documentaries ranging from "Hear and Now," which followed her deaf parents as they heard for the first time with cochlear implants, to "Saving Pelican 895," which tracked the rescue of a single pelican from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Now, Brodsky has two films coming out in quick succession. The first, ‘Open Your Eyes,’ is about a blind Nepali couple who see for the first time after unexpected cataract treatment. It screens on Sunday at the Portland International Film Festival. The second, "Beware the Slender Man," takes an unblinking look at the recent case where two 12-year-old girls tried to murder their friend to impress a mysterious internet figure known as the Slender Man.Samantha Wall Wins the Contemporary NW Art Awards - 32:07Last week, the Portland Art Museum announced the top honor of the 2016 Contemporary Northwest Art Awards, the Arlene Schnitzer prize. The winner is a young artist who’s quickly rising to the top of the Portland art scene: Samantha Wall. The award comes with a cool $10,000 check and an exhibition at the art museum this fall. OPB’s Kelsey Wallace had a story on Oregon Art Beat last year about Wall’s unique background and artistic practice.Oregon Ballet Theatre: Choreographers James Canfield and Nicolo Fonte - 37:42James Canfield founded Oregon Ballet Theater in 1989. One of the first ballets he choreographed for the nascent company was "Romeo and Juliet," to the famous score by Sergei Prokofiev. Canfield returned this season to remount the ballet for the first time in more than 15 years, running Feb. 27–Mar. 5. At the same time he was working with the dancers, choreographer Nicolo Fonte was starting rehearsals for "Beautiful Decay," which opens in April. It’s a meditation on life and aging that pairs OBT dancers with older Portland dancers. We sit down with both choreographers to discuss their shared attractions to the darker themes in life.Classical-Fused Hip-Hop with Black Violin - 47:01The Florida-based duo Black Violin consists of two classically-trained musicians who are pushing the boundaries on what can be done with the instruments. NPR’s Lindsay Totty caught up with the duo to discuss their latest release, "Stereotypes," and to find out how they’re defying them. The duo plays the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall on Feb. 24.

This spring we're sharing a series of candidate interviews regarding Portland's future and the arts.City council candidate Chloe Eudaly has seen a lot change in the arts community since she opened her bookstore, Reading Frenzy, in 1994. Listen in as she catches us up on that history and gives us a peek into her vision for the future of arts and culture in Portland. 2:32 - Portland's future and how arts & culture play into it. “If we don't have affordable housing for our low-income residents, for our workforce, for our artists and creatives, we are not going to have a vibrant cultural landscape left.”5:50 - Do you think RACC is doing a good job?“When I opened my bookstore in 1994, there were grants available for people like me…and those dollars have by-and-large gone away…I do feel that the city has really neglected this grassroots, kind of unacknowledged category of cultural workers.” 07:40 - On why small scale arts institutions are important:“My pivotal cultural experiences did not happen at well-funded arts institutions, they happened at all-ages music venues, at quirky little bookstores, at cafes that had galleries in the back.”09:00 - On how the 80's and 90s inform her current thinking about expanding arts and cultural access across Portland:“What was essential at the time for all of these really interesting, quirky, slightly improbable businesses—like mine or like the X-Ray [Cafe]—was cheap rent. Cheap relative to wages. That's really disappearing and I fear for what our cultural landscape will look like in a few years if we do nothing.”14:27 - On strategies to improve residential real estate problems in Portland:“I'd love it if the city and PDC could figure out a plan to assist with the succession of ownership within low-income families because that house is many people's most valuable asset.”23:23 - On the changes in the close-in SE industrial district:“The tech industry doesn't need that neighborhood. I think the maker's community has a much more compelling argument for their need to stay in that area, and they are being displaced.”24:50 - Is there a creative class war developing between artists and creative tech workers? As an elected official would you try to take sides or broker a peace?“I'm more concerned with preserving existing communities and creating affordable spaces than I am with accommodating people coming in with a lot of capital.”27:18 - On what can be done to ensure that public dollars in Portland are reaching everyone and not just white, middle-class audiences:“I think it's a real challenge to create equity in the arts community when we don't have it in housing, and we don't have it in schools, and people are being forced out to the edges of the city where there is little-to-no cultural programming going on.” 29:00 - On the Arts Tax:“Whatever problems I might have with the tax, knowing that every kid [K-5] in Portland public schools is getting arts education goes a long way toward smoothing those concerns over.” “I'd like to see the exemption raised…a graduated tax based on income, and I would like see more money going towards access....I do not support sending people to collections over the Arts Tax.”31:30What would you do to influence the city's built environment. Tell us about one place in the city that's an example of something to work on or something to celebrate. "North-Northeast Portland is one of the areas most impacted by gentrification and displacement.""I have to wonder what African-American residents have to come back to."
