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.

Creative Community: Recharge, Refuel, Rejuvenate, Resist!

We are a community of creatives, sharing ideas and supplies. Bring supplies to share. Paint an old TShirt to wear at a march, paint a sign or create a giant banned book or other costume to protest in. Or just paint for fun! LiLi G will share a fun way to make folk art. Paint things you are grateful for, or simply start imagining on canvas the world you want to live in! 

This space is to support anyone doing resistance work or curious about getting into it. The idea is to use art as a means to express what is on our minds as well as to regulate, center, grieve, find peace AND invision possible futures. 

Please bring art supplies to share if you can!

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.

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.

RSVP HERE

Speaker: Melissa Wong, creator of Coherence Studio
Growth and change are not the same thing—and the difference matters. How do we know when we’re truly evolving versus running in circles? Life and career coach Melissa has spent years supporting creatives in the tender, uncertain space of articulating what they most want to become and confronting what’s been holding them back. Through the art of crafting a good story, Melissa will share lessons learned from her client work and her own winding journey on how to grow meaningfully and according to our own unique path.
