Calling all lovers of art, music, food, and dancing in the streets! The Tashiro-Kaplan Building is celebrating its 10th Anniversary on Saturday, August 2 by closing down Prefontaine Pl S and filling it with creative juice. We need a little help from our friends and admirers to throw this party, if you can pitch in a couple hours of your time we’ll make it worth your while.
Volunteers are needed for security, staging, and guiding guests through the amazing array of delights throughout the building and in the street. Shifts run all day from 7am to 10pm, for just a few hours each.
In conjunction with the street fair, most of the galleries and studios in the TK Building and many artist lofts will be open; hallways will be filled with residents’ art, and that of artists selected by guest curators; and performances will happen throughout the day in the Vandenbrink Community Room.
The Main Stage will be hosted by OC Notes; with performances by Vox Mod, Vince Mira, Sean Nelson, and Steve Fisk, among others. More information about the event: http://streetfair.tklofts.com/

The amount of activity in the neighborhood is dizzying. New leases are getting signed, spaces are in build-out mode, and doors are opening for business. Sidewalk cafes are popping up just in time for our long-awaited summer. The farmers market, ArtsParks installations, and buskers are back in the parks. And the World Cup is bringing people together in bars, restaurants, conference rooms, lobbies, and Nord Alley. Where else could you possibly want to be right now?
