At long last the new art space Building 5 is open. The space, a former ship component factory, opened May 29 with a birds nest-like installation AUXART by artist Philip Krohn.

Building 5 was hatched in July 2019 when Portland sculptor Dana Lynn Louis approached longtime landlord Ken Unkeles to see whether he had a space for dancers and installation artists to make work and display it.
