Hexagon Honey Tasting and Sale
Dec
13

Hexagon Honey Tasting and Sale

Join Jeremiah Silverheart at ADX for a special tasting and sale event with Hexagon Honey! Pick up a jar of homemade honey for you or your Honey!

About Jeremiah: ‪I’m Jeremiah Silverheart. I’ve lived in Portland since I was 4 years old. I’ve always been fascinated by social insects—I used to sit on the sidewalk in front of my house and watch the ants for hours at a time. Now I’ve turned my attention to honeybees.

I founded Hexagon Honey in the spring of 2019 while I was still finishing my senior thesis at Whitman College. The business started with 10 hives that I distributed across the city in backyards and farmyards. I've gradually expanded over the past 3 years and now have honey to sell.

I currently maintain hives and harvest honey at five locations in and around Portland: Richmond neighborhood; Boise neighborhood; Johnson Creek neighborhood; Foster-Powell neighborhood; and Gresham.

Join us for ADX Community Night — a monthly gathering where creativity, collaboration, and connection come together under one roof. Whether you’re a long-time ADX member, a maker curious about the space, or someone just looking to meet like-minded creatives, all are welcome!

This free, casual event is an open invitation to come as you are and be part of our vibrant community.

It’s a perfect opportunity to catch up with fellow makers, meet new people, and get inspired by the wide range of talents and projects happening across our space.

Bring your questions about creative processes, get feedback on current projects, or just soak in the diverse experiences and expertise around you. No pressure, no formal presentations — just an open floor for friendly exchange and idea-sharing.

Whether you want to show off a piece you’ve just finished, get advice on your next step, or simply enjoy good conversation over snacks and drinks, there’s a seat for you at the table.

TOKO TEH Tape Release Party

TOKO TEH Tape Release Party

TAPE RELEASE + RELEASE SHOW

RSVP HERE

”One of my favorite things we did at Apa Kabar was the monthly producer meetup. Producers of all genres and experience levels would show up to make music and share their work while we all sat on the floor with our samplers and tea mugs. We were extremely lucky to share a space with @superelectric_records, as Bob (owner + curator) made his genre-spanning record collection available for producers to sample, flip, and mangle. An endless supply of sounds that gave way to an endless stream of creativity. Those records were the building blocks for boom-bap instrumentals, mind-bending breakbeats, and all sorts of left-field experiments. It was always crazy to hear what people would cook up. There was SO MUCH good music made over the course of those meetups, and I felt that at least some of this music HAD to be heard outside of the tea house walls. So here we are.

Apa Kabar and Super-Electric Records are proud to present the TOKO TEH TAPE (translated: TEA SHOP TAPE). A compilation of tracks made at the monthly meetups, and the first release on my new tape label: TOKO TAPE.

The tea house no longer exists in its physical form, but this tape is proof that we were there in that room. An artifact that represents the things we made and the people we brought together. I am extremely proud of this tape and all the producers who showed up and did their thing month after month.

Join us on December 7th to celebrate the project’s release, in the very place where it all started.

Rulebreakers Gallery Hours

Rulebreakers Gallery Hours

PORTLAND, OR — Michele Piscitelli presents The Rulebreakers a raw and compelling photographic exhibition that peers into the overlooked corners of Portland’s underground culture.

This series reveals the moments that live in the shadows — behind tinted car windows, in bathroom stalls, and on the streets before sunrise. Inspired by the grungy, non-conforming skater men of Portland, the work resists easy judgment, instead uncovering the beauty that coexists with what society deems “unsightly.”

Beyond shock value, The Rulebreakers explores the tension between rebellion and tenderness, thrill and restraint. It asks what it truly means to be “bad” — when freedom, sensation, and unfiltered enthusiasm dwell just beyond the boundary of control.

Jantar junto

Join Ben Goodman for an evening of curated dining at ADX. Enjoy a multi-course Brazilian dinner featuring authentic flavors and fresh, seasonal ingredients, set to the sounds of samba. A relaxed, communal night of good food and good atmosphere.

About Ben: Born and raised in L.A. on Brazilian rhythms, Ben has always felt most at home in the kitchen — cooking the food his mom grew up with in Rio. A pit stop in Portland turned into a permanent detour when he fell hard for the city’s food culture. He ditched art school, loaded up a U-Haul, and started cooking his way through the city, from running a food truck on Alberta to currently working the line at Scotch Lodge. After pop-ups with menu’s spanning the globe — Korea, Indonesia, West Africa, and beyond — Ben’s circling back to his roots with bold, soulful takes on the Brazilian classics he loves most.
