ELASTIC TIME: A RICHARD LINKLATER MASTER CLASS

Online via Hollywood Theatre

$12–35

 

“The pandemic has turned our collective sense of time inside out: disrupting routines, lengthening days, and obliterating the calendar’s familiar touchstones. It’s the perfect moment to delve into the work of Richard Linklater, the American filmmaker who has spent his career exploring (and manipulating) the passage of time. For this three-week Movie Madness Master Class, we’ll take an in-depth look at Linklater’s filmography. We’ll be joined by Richard Linklater and Melissa Maerz, author of Alright, Alright, Alright: The Oral History of Richard Linklater’s Dazed and Confused. The Master Class is hosted by Shawn Levy, a bestselling author and former film critic for The Oregonian and KGW-TV.”

$17–20

Ongoing through August 1

 

Isaka Shamsud-Din: Rock of Ages is an intimate exhibition celebrating the Portland artist’s masterful paintings, rich in a narrative combining personal stories and folklore. Shamsud-Din’s paintings also celebrate and honor individuals by capturing portraits. Tightly composed and with a vibrancy of color, the works invite viewers to be among these individuals and warm settings. The exhibition is titled after Shamsud-Din’s painting of his father, Rock of Ages (1976), the museum’s most recent acquisition of the artist’s work.”

Check SolveOregon.org/springcleanup for a list of events

 

“SOLVE is excited to launch a brand-new statewide event this April called the Oregon Spring Cleanup, presented by Portland General Electric. As we have for over fifty years, we will be supporting the efforts of awesome partners and amazing volunteers from around the state who are motivated to take care of their special place in Oregon. This new event has its roots in the Spring Oregon Beach Cleanup (created in 1986) and SOLVE IT for Earth Day (started in 1990). We hope the Oregon Spring Cleanup will become a new family tradition for your loved ones to join with other Oregonians in making the state a better place for both humans and wildlife, from Astoria to Brookings, Bandon to Burns, and all points in between.”
