The Exchange: A Multi-Cultural Day Market!

Gaby Saldana-Lopez and Christina Estimé, SEUL Staff

SE Uplift, along with our partners Northeast Coalition of Neighbors and the East Portland Community Office, is incredibly excited to work on a new event that brings the SE, NE, and East Portland coalitions together in an effort to support a variety of businesses owned and operated by People of Color!

The Exchange is a multi-cultural day market that will bring together food, art, and performances from a wide spectrum of our community. We want to highlight and make space to support local vendors of color and their respective crafts. Our mission is to make meaningful connections across perceived differences to create more vibrant communities.

The Exchange is scheduled for Saturday, August 17th 2019. It will be located in our very own yard and block (at 3534 SE Main St. Portland, OR 97214) from 12:00pm-6:00 pm. It is completely FREE to attend and merchandise will be for sale!
