The Buckman Community mural (@ 12th & Morrison) was painted in 2008 by Portland’s legendary muralist Joe Cotter (1949-2012). Joe was one of the activists behind the Portland Mural Defense (along with Mark Metzler and Joanne Oleksiak), a community effort that saved many of Portland’s old murals and paved the way for more to be painted after the disastrous Clear Channel lawsuit of the late 90s. The Buckman mural was funded by a $21K grant from the City's Bureau of Environmental Services; an effort to mitigate some of the impact of the Big Pipe construction in the neighborhood. Joe did both on-the-ground and historical research to come up with the mural’s highly detailed content. The main theme is sustainability and history - depicting community gardens, rainwater harvesting, solar panels, bicycles, and many iconic and historic homes. The tan house in the center was on the corner where Plaid Pantry is now. Swipe right to see a picture of the old house before it was demolished. Supposedly there was a mural on the side of the store before this one, depicting the neighborhood, perhaps painted by kids. If anyone has any photos or info about that first mural, please DM us! | 🎨 Learn about this public art history and a lot more on our next SE tour on Sunday Sept 23rd (last one this summer!)
