UPCOMING EVENTS
Portland Stained Glass:
Image as Information
For a thousand years stained glass has been one of the principal forms of religious art. Explore the ways complex aesthetic and theological concepts are transmitted through image, light, and color. The staing glass windows from many of Portland's most beloved churches and synagogues will be examined.
Presenting will be John Doyle.

Portland 101: Crooked Grids, Tiny Blocks, and the Building of the City
How did Portland get this way, with its little square blocks and weird intersections, the funny pronunciations and the bridge ramps to nowhere? Why is it even located where it is? There’s a reason for everything (we didn’t say a good reason!)
Long-time AHC Education Committee member Robert Jordan will guide us through 150 years of Portland’s development – a great overview for those just getting interested in Portland’s architectural heritage as well as for anyone who ever wondered “Why did they do THAT?”
