- Last chance to partake in this celebration of great music, art and food -
The Beaverton Arts Commission's Last Tuesday Series, A Celebration of Great Music, Art and Food, concludes with a performance by local musician Patrick Lamb on Tuesday, August 31 from 5 to 8 p.m. in the fountain plaza at The Round, 12600 SW Crescent St. There is no admission charge.
Lamb, a Grammy nominated performing artist, whose roots are steeped in Southern blues and jazz, will be thrilling the crowd with his unique mix of musical styles. Lamb currently tours with such internationally known legends as Bobby Caldwell, two time Grammy winning artist Diane Schuur, and Gino Vannelli. Lamb has performed twice at the White House in Washington, D.C.
Local artists Anna Lancaster, Katerina Edwards, Juan Calvillo, Kevin Budde, and GE Mac Donald will have their artwork displayed (and for sale!) throughout the plaza offering work in a variety of media including sculpture, glasswork, acrylic, and photography.
Local dancer Klinton Halliday will perform at the musical intermissions at 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. Halliday is one of the senior students of the Kalabharathi School of Dance. Halliday has studied the classical Indian art form known as "Bharata Natyam." Bharata Natyam is an ancient classical Indian dance form. Halliday has performed for the past two years at the popular Beaverton's Ten Tiny Dances event presented by the Beaverton Arts Commission.
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 fun-filled 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.
