Alberta Arts District
Coordinates: 45°33′33″N 122°38′34″W / 45.55905°N 122.64286°W Alberta Arts District is a neighborhood in Portland, Oregon, United States. The neighborhood centers on Alberta Street, and stretches from approximately Williams Ave to 33rd Ave in the Northeast section of the city.
Alberta Street has always been one of the main hubs of the Northeast area in Portland. The street was once the essence of the culture contained by the primarily urban and African-American community. Since the gentrification in the Northeast area, Alberta Street is the heart of an arts, restaurant, and shopping district approximately 20 blocks long. The area around Alberta is becoming very popular with yuppies as well as hipsters, bohemians, hippies and other groups associated with the counterculture. Alberta Street accommodations available to travelers range from hostels to five-star hotels.
On the last Thursday of every month there is an art walk that takes place in galleries and shops during the winter months, and outdoors during warmer weather, with tables set up by local artisans and traveling merchants along the sidewalk. Street performers and food carts also participate in the street fair.
