- Part two of the three-part celebration of great music, art and food -
The Beaverton Arts Commission's Last Tuesday Series, A Celebration of Great Music, Art and Food, continues on Tuesday, July 27 from 5 to 8 p.m. in the fountain plaza at The Round, 12600 SW Crescent St. There is no admission charge.
Steinway Signature Artist Michael Allen Harrison is a multi faceted performing artist who will be thrilling the crowd with a variety of music genres. He has performed for President Clinton, Vice President Al Gore, Quincy Jones and the Dalai Lama.
Local artists Sandy Dutko, Mari Budick, Julie Metz, Laura Hopper, and Denise McDonald will have their artwork displayed (and for sale!) throughout the plaza offering work in a variety of media.
Local dancers, Rene Nuñez and Lori Hajarizadeh, will offer demonstrations of their skills and styles at 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. Rene Nunez is originally from Chile, where his first dance teachers were his parents. His passion for dancing comes naturally from his parents who were National Argentine Tango Dance Champions in Chile. Lori and Rene have been award-winning dance partners for about 5-1/2 years.
Local restaurants including Typhoon!, Mio Sushi, and Mingo will offer indoor and outdoor
dining and refreshment experiences for Beaverton Last Tuesday audiences, making the entire evening a truly wonderful celebration of great music, art and food.
The Round Fountain Plaza, 12600 SW Crescent St., is located adjacent to the Beaverton Central light rail station. Parking for the event is available at The Round and in the former Westgate Theatre parking lot accessible from Cedar Hills Blvd.
Beaverton Last Tuesday is presented by the Beaverton Arts Commission and sponsored by the Cultural Coalition of Washington County, Oregon Cultural Trust, City of Beaverton, and Beaverton Arts Foundation.
