The Beaverton Arts Foundation, the City of Beaverton and the local arts community have come together in an artistic challenge, #ArtLivesHere. Artists both seasoned and novice are encouraged to share their artistic expressions on social media using hashtag #ArtLivesHere. Participants are encouraged to post everything from chalk art, backyard performances and window paintings to poetry, live streamed shows and everything in between.

Share a photo or video of your artistic expressions on your own social channels with #ArtLivesHere. We will select a handful of user-generated content on our social media platforms (Facebook and Instagram). Here’s an example from Pat Reser. And if you’d like to challenge your peers to participate, please feel free to do so.

“We are so privileged to live in a community that embraces the arts in such a significant way. While right now we’re not in a position to attend shows or visit galleries, I believe art truly exists within us all. I encourage everyone to think about these challenging times as an opportunity to join our collective voice and spirit.” – Pat Reser
