An Aquarium of Ideas – Port of Portland
The Port of Portland is awesome!
Even if we don’t realize it, the Port of Portland plays a huge role in every Portlanders life. In short, they help make things move.
Ever wonder how your french fries got from a farm in Idaho onto your plate? Or why our airport is ranked as one of the Best in the Nation? Or ever wonder about who directs all the barges cruising the river? Yep, the Port helps make that happen.
Well, not only are they lovely people that help our beautiful city run, they also care about artists and art. They recently asked some NW artists to create pieces for their new headquarters (which also happens to be one of six U.S. structures recognized as the world’s most high-tech green buildings). These pieces ranged from enormous movable metal sculptures to traditional woodcarvings. And we were fortunate enough to make a short film about it. Very inspirational.
Enjoy.
