One of Portland’s most beloved public artworks, Portlandia, was installed and dedicated 25 years ago this month. RACC and Portland Mayor Sam Adams invite the community to join us for a cupcake break to celebrate her birthday!

Friday, October 15th from 3:00 – 3:30 PM
Standard Plaza, across the street from the Portland Building, 1120 SW 5th Avenue

Portlandia, by renowned artist Raymond Kaskey, is made of hammered copper sheeting about the thickness of a dime formed around a steel armature. At 34’ 10”, She is one-third the size of the Statue of Liberty, the only larger statue of this kind in the nation. For more information, visit the RACC public art collection online.
