Eric Bartels speaks to Portland artist Henry Frison.

On February 10th 1978 the first of several murals depicting the history of the African American community was dedicated to the city of Portland by a group of artists from the Albina neighborhood.  Henry Frison was one of the artists tasked with creating a public art display for the project.  

On Saturday July 29th from 7-10pm Greenhaus Gallery will host a reception and exhibition of both Mr Frison's work and the history of the Albina Mural Project.
