On September 7th, 2021 you can come to downtown Hillsboro along Main Street and safely celebrate the 15th Anniversary of Hillsboro Tuesday Night Art Walk, more commonly known as Hillsboro First Tuesday Art Walk.ย  The event is the oldest and longest-running event of its kind.ย  In fact, prior to founders Linda Holland and Evan Acey getting this event going, Hillsboro was a town that rolled up the streets after 5 PM.ย  Now known for lots of functions and events, the Hillsboro Community was just starting to blossom when the event got started.

FROM THE ORGANIZERS:ย 

On First Tuesday, Sept. 7, 5:00 until 8:00, Rodney Stubbs will be hosting an Influence Music Hall’s Open-Mic at Weichert Realty. This just happens to be the very location that Influence was opened and the place where First Tuesday Artwalk was birthed fifteen years ago. There will be a special cake (courtesy of Tualatin Valley Artists) and much festivities.

Acey, who founded Influence Music Hall talked about the creation of the Art Walk event and the reason it all started.

“The community needed a place for musicians and for artists to take center stage and have a chance to be seen,” said Acey.ย  “For 15 years we have done just that and were the first to promote art and music in that way.”

Promote they have.ย  The groundbreaking group, which includes musicians and visual artists, spent their formative years in a gallery space where Weichert Realty is now.ย  Artists would show their work all week and musicians would perform their music in the space.ย  Many of those getting a shot to be seen were young people and marginalized people including those suffering homelessness.

With the help of Linda Holland, also an Art Walk founder, the groups set up Tualatin Valley Artists, a 501 C3 group.ย  Together Acey, Holland, and other volunteers have tirelessly supported the arts.

From the Influence Music Page:

Since 2006 Influence Music Hall has been the host of Friday Night Open Mic. Founded by Evan Acey, IMH is focused on family-friendly community art and music, appreciative and supportive audiences, and providing a forum for everyone to display their art and perform their music. Novice or experienced, young or old, you are welcome at Influence Music Hall.

After starting on Main Street, IMH moved to 3rd Street where they had a 12-year run making music and showcasing art.ย  The group left the space about 2 years ago but remains active in the Hillsboro Community. While Covid works it way through our society, Influence is working on plans for a comeback.ย  This is such a need because we have so many great musicians and the venues are limited.ย  In April the Herald Featured an article on this very fact and called for more opportunities and space to rise up.ย  IMH is a player we need to be at the center of that.

  • Come to Historic Downtown Hillsboro and support the music and art as well as our many fine dining options.

Unlike Hillsboro Tuesday Night or Hillsboro Farmers Markets that have a limited run each year, Hillsboro Artwalk is every first Tuesday 12 months a year.ย  This is the group that emulated what Portland was doing and brought the concept to Hillsboro and they are to be recognized for 15 years of service and their vision to get us all started on the path to where we are now; a very engaged community with a Cultural Arts District officially beginning to happen!
What is ahead for Influence Music Hall?
“Our goal is to continue to provide access to fine art and live music opportunities to those in the community and especially the youth and the underserved,” concluded Acey.
Linda Holland reflected on the past 15 years and the importance of art in our community.
“In my experience, I’ve seen how art affects even a few people and how it touches their lives, so multiply that by more people and it can change a whole community as it has here in Hillsboro.”
As you go about your busy lives, try to help people and inspire them.ย  Be of service, volunteer, even the smallest act of kindness or charity can change lives.ย  It is often said that one person has the power to change the world.ย  The Hillsboro First Tuesday Art Walk and Influence Music Hall have done just that.
The Herald congratulates and gives thanks to Evan Acey, Linda Holland, and all of the venues, musicians, and artists that make Hillsboro Art Walk so special possible!
We hope all of you come out on September 7th to support them.
