Village Building Convergence Shared Spaces Festival
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
City Repair is kicking off the Village Building Convergence (VBC) with the Shared Spaces Festival, a one-day, hands-on, heck-yes celebration of the wildly creative, unreasonably hopeful, and delightfully deliberate ways people in Portland are building community. This festival will showcase all the ways people are coming together to show up for each other and keep the community strong. It will also inspire you, make you smile, and fill you with delicious pizza.
Bringing together makers, gardeners, dreamers, builders, mutual aid wizards, collaborative artists, and passionate neighbors. There will be hands-on workshops, community art, and participatory performances — all showing different ways to share space, resources, and co-create the future.
This festival launches 9 days of community-led projects blooming all over Portland — the heart of what VBC is all about. Neighbors are turning streets into art, building gathering nooks, planting food forests, and more, often continuing their work throughout the summer. Curious to explore these sites or looking for a chance to volunteer and make your mark? Discover the full list of VBC projects and ways to get involved.
