Sunnyside Piazza is an inner Portland street intersection that surrounding neighbors converted into a community gathering place in September 2001. Working with the non-profit organization The City Repair Project, the residents of Sunnyside neighborhood designed their piazza, raised money for materials, and installed it themselves in accordance with a city ordinance that allows any Portland neighborhood to do such a project. The Piazza includes a giant street mural based on the image of a sunflower, as well as a community kiosk and an art wall created with natural building techniques by residents and local artists.
Note: In case of rain on May 29th, painting will move to next non-rainy weekend day (5/30, 6/5, 6/6) starting at 10am.
