NFT Mural For Social Equity Event Finalizes Entertainment Lineup

PORTLAND, Ore. - EntSun -- The Paint the Future NFT Mural event in Northeast Portland has finalized a four-hour lineup of entertainment to include local and BIPOC musicians, spoken word artists and comedians. The event has also secured artists and vendors to ensure attendees are engaged as funds are raised for Friends of the Children – Portland. The September 25 event is underwritten by Title Sponsor, First Tech Federal Credit Union.

The "19/19" mural is an acknowledgement of Portland's history of segregation and displacement of indigenous peoples and more recently, black residents, who were barred from buying real estate in white neighborhoods in 1919. Consisting of 38 colored squares in a grid format, the 30' by 60' mural will be painted by volunteers over a daylong event (from 10 am to 4 pm) at 310 NE Failing St. The event, and accompanying website are meant to educate the community as well as provide calls-to-action to help make Portland a more inclusive and inspiring city.
