On March 18 at Après in East Bayside Portland, TempoArt held an event called Catalyst, and PMC was there to cover the event. Catalyst was a fundraiser to support TempoArt’s 2024 temporary public art commission to be installed on Back Cove Trail and Park from June 2024-June 2025. Guests had a chance to meet and mingle with artists and local arts and community enthusiasts over delicious food and beverages. The artist team of Donna Dodson and Andy Moerlein of the Myth Makers made a presentation unveiling the 2024 commission. There was also a dance performance by local choreographers and dancers Holly Taylor, Liz Mulkey, Kristen Stake and Hannah Wasielewski.

Be sure to catch snatches of the evening as well as the artists’ full presentation on PMC Channel 5 at 8:30 p.m. on Fridays.
