A vibrant new STREET mural has transformed the Electric Blocks (
@electricblocks ) in the Central Eastside Mural District!
Designed by artist Hayden Senter (
@chairboy_ ) and installed by Kirk Rea (
@kirkthegreener ) of SymbiOp Garden Shop (
@symbiopgardenshop ), the murals act as a visual connector for the buildings at the Killian Pacific Campus, which includes rotating art gallery, Taylor Electric at the Nova Building and the art-filled Volta Garage.
For Killian Pacific (
@killian.pacific ), who commissioned the artwork, this project represents a continuation of their commitment to creative placemaking that extends beyond building walls into the public realm.
“Our goal is for the streets that connect our buildings to feel like part of the campus itself, places that invite people to gather, celebrate, and experience art outside the walls of our buildings. These murals are part of our commitment to supporting artistic expression and building community, and we see them as a lasting invitation for people to connect and create together at the Electric Blocks.” – Chelsea Rooklyn, Brand & Impact Manager at Killian Pacific
This ambitious street mural project required extensive coordination and support from multiple partners. PSAA extends gratitude to all workers and volunteers including Sabin CDC (
@sabincdc_pdx ) who turned the wild concept into reality, and to project partners including the Portland Bureau of Transportation (
@pbotinfo ), Melvin Mark (
@melvinmarkcompanies ), Rodda-Miller Paint (
@roddamillerpaint ), Absolute Cleaning Services, and D&H Flagging for their essential contributions.
