Art Exhibit: Albina Music Trust presents Wall To Wall Soul

The Armory: PGE Gallery

Join us for an opening reception for the Wall To Wall Soul exhibit featuring photography, vinyl records, and poster art from Albina Music Trust's community archive.

The show centers Albina's musical culture dating back to the 1940s and up to the current day. With an emphasis on the soul, jazz, and gospel music legacy of Portland's Black community, the exhibit aims to inform and transport visitors to a time when Paul Knauls' Cotton Club - a pillar in Albina’s Black community - was the “the only place on the West Coast with Wall To Wall Soul.” 

The opening reception will be a dual celebration of the Wall To Wall Soul exhibit and the Jason Hill exhibit My Favorite Things, as part of November First Thursday, which will be happening Thursday, November 7, 2024, from 6:00-8:00 PM in the PGE gallery at Portland Center Stage. The exhibit will be on view daily through January 12, 2025.
