Focus on Greater Portland piece on Portland\u27s seven-year-old First Friday Art

Focus on Greater Portland piece on Portland\u27s seven-year-old First Friday Art Walk, which has helped foster an inclusive art community and has had a positive economic impact on the city. Andres Verzosa, owner of Aucocisco Gallery, handed the event over to the Portland Arts & Cultural Alliance (PACA) last year, allowing it more latitude as a nonprofit. It is estimated that at least 1,000 people take part in First Friday, and that 45 to 70 art venues participate, inlcuding individual artists who open their studios.
