Situated in Alton Baker Park on over 4.35 acres of property, the Science Factory affords a wonderful opportunity for combining outdoor environs to its overall visit experience.

I always liked to visit science museums and exhibitions since I was a kid because there are always a lot of fun science exhibitions combined with arts. I didn't know there was such museum near UofO and I think science museum for children is a great place for families to visit on weekends. Seemed like they have some classes and camps occasionally, and I would wanted to participate in one of those events if I were still a kid. I hope many children will have a chance to visit such science museum and have many impacts on science/art and learn a lot of stuff there.

California's Country Music Festival. April 25-27, 2014 Stagecoach is a very well known country music festival that is actually taking place this weekend. I personally have always wanted to attend as I love country music, but my friends go every year and say it is a blast! I would highly recommend looking into this fun event if you also enjoy country music and entertaining festivals.

great festival. Always sells out and a great stage for up and coming artists to get an opportunity to showcase talents. Festival always does a good job of giving a great variety of country music

Stage Coach is a Country Music Festival located in Southern California. Thousands of people travel across the world to attend this event. Stage Coach is my favorite music festival. I have attended Stage Coach for the last five years this is the first year I'm not going. Stage Coach took place for the first time in 2007 and ever since then it has been an extremely popular event to attend to.

It's a resource to find music concerts and performances, theatre events, festivals, art events, recreations events, fundraising events, sporting events, and community events in Eugene

This website is absolutely FANTASTIC! I honestly have had a hard time fulfilling my role as a community member since moving to Eugene. A came here not knowing a single person and starting to attend community events is something I am really looking forward to doing. This really will help me further connect with the community. I also loved that the site did not just have one genre of arts to attend but a multitude of them as well as recreation. All combined together to help express and allow submergence into Eugene culture.

Great resource for finding out what's going in Eugene. Helps to get involved and connect to the community.

From Nike's project, we can see that even though they have successfully sold their products to people. Nevertheless, when shoes got beat up, people usually just throw it away. Fortunately, Nike has collected shoes for reuse and build couple public facility. This is type of work that working with community and society, which we talked about during the lecture.

I think this is a great idea. I would love to know more about it. There is not much other information about it on the internet besides what is in the video. Does anyone know if Nike donates these courts or fields? That would be a great way to give back to the community.

I really like this a lot. This is good for Nike public relations wise and it is smart economically as well. Nike being a progressive company is a positive for everyone involved.

If you think of Red Rocks Park as just a beautiful place to see a concert, think again! Around you are 868 acres of deer, dinosaurs, pines and prairie, geological wonders and spectacular vistas. At 6,450 feet above sea level, Red Rocks Park is a unique transitional zone where the Great Plains meet the Rocky Mountains. The diverse environment allows visitors to see plants, birds and animals of both regions. Red Rocks Amphitheatre is a geological phenomenon - the only naturally-occurring, acoustically perfect amphitheatre in the world. From Sting and The Beatles, to opera stars and U2, every artist aspires to play on this magical, spiritual and emotional stage.

Flag The Photo Independent Art Fair debuts this year, occupying Raleigh Studios as a kind of unofficial neighbor/partner to Paris Photo L.A., which is happening the same weekend at nearby Paramount Studios. But Photo Independent is far more than a shadow fair. Conceived as an artist-centered counterpart, it's dedicated to working directly with photographers who wish to present their work in a more in-depth context. While the program is international, expect a robust presence of locally based artists, many of whom, as the title implies, are operating independently from the gallery system, embracing the opportunity to take their case straight to the visually curious public. It's Hollywood, after all, a place where everyone dreams of being discovered..

This link is an article about the decision to close down the International Market place in the heart of downtown Waikiki, O'ahu, and transforming the space into a high end retail, Sak's Fifth. Being a frequent visitor to the islands, I find this news pretty sad. I have visited the International market every time I have been downtown to Waikiki because of how unique everything was. There were tons of kiosks with hand-made and high quality products and you could bargain with the owners. It really was a fun experience and allowed for a bunch of people to display and sell their distinct art. "The start of the new year marked the end of an era in Honolulu. By the time you read this the International Market Place, the last truly open green space for commerce in the heart of Waikiki, will be closed for good. It will be replaced by a ..."
