COMING SOON

OCTOBER

We’re getting ready! Community partners come together, hundreds of mini art kits are assembled, and The Craft PDX prepares to launch The Bigger Picture.

LAUNCH DATE: TRICK OR TREAT MAIN STREET |

October 30, 2026 3:30-6:00pm Downtown Tigard

NOVEMBER

Pick up your kits from The Craft PDX starting November 1, 2026 while they last.

Return your finished artwork to The Craft PDX during business hours before November 20th and we’ll add it to the community installation alongside pieces created by kids, parents, grandparents, artists, neighbors, business owners and first-time makers.

HOW IT WORKS

1 | Pick Up Your Free Kit

The Bigger Picture art kits are available starting at Trick or Treat Main Street in Tigard, Oregon, October 30th at The Craft PDX.

Starting November 1 they will be available at The Craft PDX and select community events and partner locations while supplies last.

2 | Make it yours

Use the mini canvas inside to show us what community, kindness or belonging means to you. Paint it. Draw on it. Add words. Keep it simple. Get weird. There is no “right” answer.

3 | Bring it back

Return your completed canvas to The Craft PDX by November 20, 2026. Add your first name and age to the back if you'd like.

4 | Watch the bigger picture grow

Follow this page and our Instagram to watch the piece grow and find your piece among the others in our community!

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at alexis@adtartistry.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Who can participate?

Everyone! The Bigger Picture is an all-ages community art project. You don't need to consider yourself an artist or have any previous art experience.

How much does it cost?

Nothing. Participation is free, thanks to The Craft PDX and our Community Partners.

What's included in my kit?

Each kit includes a miniature canvas and project instructions.

What should I create?

Anything inspired by community, kindness or belonging. It can be a picture, pattern, word, symbol, abstract design—or something completely unexpected.

Can parents help younger children?

Absolutely. Make it together or let your little artist take the lead. Parents can create their own too. Pick up your kit while they last starting November 1, 2026 at The Craft PDX.

Does it have to look “good”?

Nope. That's kind of the point.

The Bigger Picture isn't about creating hundreds of perfect little paintings. It's about seeing what happens when hundreds of different people contribute something that's theirs.

Can I put my name on it?

Yes! Put your first name and age on the back if you'd like. For children's safety, please don't include last names, school names, addresses or other personal information.

Where do I return my canvas?

Return completed canvases to:

The Craft PDX
12553 SW Main Street
Downtown Tigard, Oregon

Return by: 11/20/2026

What happens to my artwork?

Returned canvases become part of The Bigger Picture community art installation and may be photographed or filmed as part of documenting and promoting the project.

Will I get my canvas back?

Join the email newsletter and registration when you bring in your artwork for up to date information regarding pickup.

Can my school, business or organization participate?

Yes! We'd love to find ways to bring The Bigger Picture into more corners of our community. After November 1, 2026 contact us at The Craft PDX to set aside your kits.
