“The Photobooth For The Future” Fundraiser is a community fundraising event happening Sunday, September 7th, from 2–6pm at 737 SE Sandy Blvd, Portland. Guests will need a ticket to participate in particular parts of this event/ to get a picture with a select few—recognized community celebrities—against one of three themed backdrops envisioning the future of the 7th & SE Sandy Green Plaza and a makerspace for the Portland Indigenous Marketplace. But there will also be some free and low cost options.
Additional event offerings include:
Kokedama workshop with Lupe Rodriguez ($50 per participant) in person
Free kids’ workshop led by Sebastian in person

This event is made possible through a partnership between Portland Indigenous Marketplace and DePave PDX. While most events hosted by the Portland Indigenous Marketplace primarily feature artist markets and art events benefiting Indigenous and Black artists, the specific September 7th fundraiser will focus on fundraising for the huge project of transforming the end of the Sandy trail (Blvd)
