Kids Craft Camps at Belle Sirota!

Instructors: Julia and Jeanne Hosack

Our first camp will be on Sunday May 3rd at 1:00 inside Belle Sirota at the Jantzen Beach Mall.

We will be making painted sunflower pots for Mothers day, complete with a mini sunflower seedling.

This class is appropriate for ages 3 and up. The cost is $15. This includes a kit with everything you need to make your pot and a token to ride the carousel.

Space is limited so call (503) 206-7851 or email classes@bellesirota.com soon to reserve your spot.

Grand Re-Opening/1st Anniversary Celebration!

Belle Sirota (all vegan gallery) has expanded to a much larger space inside Jantzen Beach Center and we're celebrating the grand re-opening and first anniversary! Tomorrow, April 4, from noon - 2:00, Nikki from Vege Thai will be demonstrating how to make salad rolls, and we'll be offering samples of Market Spice Tea, cinnamon roasted almonds, and Missionary Chocolates.

First Friday Art Walk tonight!

Join Jantzen Beach the first Friday of the month for a different type of Art Walk!

Every first Friday, Jantzen Beach and Belle Sirota host an Art Walk for all ages. Local independent artists display their work in this unconventional venue. Imagine an Art Walk where patrons can avoid the unpredictable weather of the Pacific NW and have plenty of parking.

Tonight, we will have artisans showing jewelry, fine art, handcrafted soaps, photography, metal sculpture and more.

Hope to see you tonight! If you are interested in having a space at future art walks inside Jantzen Beach Center, send an email to artwalk@bellesirota.com for an application.

Carnaval is this Saturday!

Carnaval Brasileiro is this Saturday night at the Crystal Ballroom! If you need a mask, stop by Belle Sirota and check out the great selection of handcrafted masks by Connie & Diane Trapp.

This past Saturday, I had a table at the Beaux Arts Ball at the Portland Art Museum. The response to the masks was fantastic!

Here's a few of the masks that I have in stock:
