Five local artists contributed their creativity to help beautify barricades that are being used for street closures in downtown Portland. But already, a fabric cover created by one of those artists has been stolen.
Creative Portland hired the artists Angela Adams, Pam Chevez, Ebenezer Akakpo, Tamara Jones and Nora Tryon to add color, energy and messaging to the barricades, which are being used for the closures of Wharf, Dana and Milk streets, as well as a portion of Fore Street near Boothby Square.
