The Waldo Block is a historic building constructed in 1886. It is situated in Downtown Portland and displays an Italianate style of architecture. It became a part of the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
Located in the historic DeSoto building which has many galleries and venues for art, the Froelick Gallery displays bold and individualistic artwork by contemporary artists. Although many local artists are represented at the exhibitions, displays of the works of artists from as far away as Tokyo can also be found here. The gallery organizes more than 15 solo exhibitions and around 4 group exhibitions during the course of a year. Exhibitions include artwork of varying mediums and styles, thereby ensuring that no two exhibitions are the same. Established in 1995, the gallery is one of the most respected institutions to display art in the city.
Esta galería, inaugurada a mitades de la década de 1970, es una de las pocas y mejores galerías fotográficas de la ciudad. Los temas de las fotos son variados, desde las artes de Paul Seawright, cuya descendencia irlandesa le permitió tomar fotografías que fueron premiadas de los conflictos de Irlanda, hasta los artistas ciudadanos que aprovecharon la vegetación del Noroeste del Pacífico para tomar fotos asombrosas. Asegúrate de visitarla durante la ‘First Thursday Gallery Walks’ (evento de primer jueves del mes), la galería que cada vez gana más popularidad.
This urban work of art combines cold steel and great timbers of the Pacific Northwest to create the flow in its waterfall. The huge, colorful sculptures stand guard at the doors to the spectacular tower, a worthy piece of modern architecture itself. In addition to viewing the art, you can feel the steel tree for yourself. Inside the building's atrium entrance, you can view interesting paintings and historical photos.
