Black Pioneers in Oregon: A Traveling Exhibit

Presented by KinCultivate, this traveling exhibit from Oregon Black Pioneers highlights the stories of Oregon’s earliest Black settlers, both free and enslaved. On display throughout February on the second floor of the Main Library in honor of Black History Month, the exhibit explores how Black pioneers challenged Oregon’s discriminatory laws and helped lay the foundation for Black communities across the state. Visit us this February to explore this powerful piece of Oregon history.

Adult Art Night: Doodle & Bloom

Tuesday, February 10 @ 5 p.m.

One week later than usual!

Settle into an evening of art-making that honors Black American heritage through creativity and shared learning. This Adult Art Night is led by local teaching artist Janique Crenshaw, in partnership with KinCultivate.

Using acrylic markers, participants will learn a small set of approachable shapes and techniques, then build them into expressive botanical imagery connected to the cultural stories and traditions carried through everyday plants. The workshop balances guided instruction with personal choice, welcoming beginners while remaining engaging for those who enjoy drawing. The focus is on learning tangible skills, honoring heritage beyond a single month, and creating artwork that feels grounded and personal. All materials are provided. Space is limited, and materials are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
