Unvieling the American Dream
Public Art Installation
Come celebrate TEMPOart's first public art installation, American Dream by Judith Hoffman,
on First Friday: June 3, from 5:00-8:00pm at Lincoln Park at Congress and Franklin Streets.
Ribbon cutting and remarks by artist and curator at 6:00. Japanese street food from the
Mami Food Truck and music by Island Beats until 8:00.
Hoffman’s striking, 14-foot tall steel temporary sculptural installation, composed of stacked
and inverted houses, prompts a reimagination of evolving Franklin Street and historic
Lincoln Park and what the idea of HOME means to our diverse community.
TEMPOart is Portland, Maine’s new temporary public art program that will bring curated, sitespecific artworks that explore the theme of Places in Transition to Portland’s public spaces. With
a goal to enliven key neighborhoods and urban sites, TEMPOart will encourage residents and
visitors alike to engage with a changing array of exciting and innovative installations. TEMPOart
will commission new works from emerging and established artists, and will foster artistic freedom
and innovation. The temporary projects will provide a critical complement to Portland’s longstanding, permanent public art program, enhancing the city’s growth as a creative hub.

Port Fringe Theater Festival
Please join us as we kick off our fifth birthday month by presenting metro(ACT)ive — a mobile public
performance art project taking place as part of the June First Friday Art Walk on Friday June 3, 2016.
Be on the lookout for a fleet of two-dimensional/cardboard metro buses moving through the Arts
District corridor, pausing at actual Metro bus stops to present spontaneous and brief bus-themed
performance art, and promote the upcoming PortFringe festival (taking place June 18-16, 2016).
Interact with PortFringe Artists, grab a festival schedule and limited-edition metro(ACT)ive button
and even climb aboard and join us on the route!

The Art and Design of Jamie Johnston + Sondra Bogdono
This exhibit is influenced and informed by Sondra and Jamie having
studios in the same building, attached to the house they have lived
in for over thirty years. The last six months they have focused on the
intersections in their thinking and how they play off of each other in
their work. They each visit the other over the course of the day. They
share conversations... They go back to making.
