Last month, Community Arts Create kicked off the first Columbia City ArtWalk, Bohemian Backstreets. There were art vendors of all kinds, youth marimba groups and steel pan groups, a performance dance group, a puppet performance, specialty ice-cream by Chef Allyss Dillon, art activities by non-profit Social HeARTistry Educators, and a community art project with CleanScapes trashcans.

With activities that anyone can enjoy, young or old, and a variety of art to soak up, Bohemian Backstreets is a fun summer event that everyone can attend. Next month's ArtWalk is June 16 — it will be event better with more artists, performers, and art activities.

Check out our website.


We had five Columbia City businesses that opened up their walls as gallery space and two neighborhood art studios open. We encouraged people to take a walk through the neighborhood and see the art hung in the various businesses and studio spaces in the district.

The event ended with a showing of an independent film series called Film Festival in a Box provided by IndieFlix showing at the Rainier Valley Cultural Center.
