Alberta Street

Alberta Street is an arts district in Northeast Portland that stretches over several blocks and is defined by art galleries, independent shops, cafes, and restaurants. Along the commercial spine, spaces for creative work sit next to shops and restaurants for everyday needs.

The neighborhood started in the early 1900s as a residential area and later transformed into a commercial district. This shift occurred during Portland's period of urban development.

Art galleries and artist studios shape the visual character of the street, with murals on building walls showing the creative engagement of the community. The art scene is visible in daily life and part of the streetscape.

Several bus lines connect the neighborhood to downtown Portland and provide easy access. Street parking with meters is available along the commercial sections.

The annual Alberta Street Fair brings regional artists, local food vendors, and performers together in the neighborhood. The festival celebrates local culture and draws many visitors to the area.
