Portland Buzz: First Thursday right outside our office door

Throughout the year, on the first Thursday of every month, Portland’s Pearl District plays host to the First Thursday Gallery Walk. Art galleries extend their hours into the evening, and during the summer when the Oregon weather is at its best, a slew of talented and original artists set up booth displays right outside of the Michael Patrick Partners’ office on NW 13th Avenue.

Booths line both sides of NW 13th where Oregonians come to peruse and purchase artwork and other novelties. The artistry is as diverse as the city of Portland itself. Take a look at some of the most unique booths (and our favorites) below:
