Heritage Art Walk

In 2015 a Ford Family Foundation Cohort and the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Tribe helped create a light pole banner project celebrating Molalla’s community and its history. Imagery from the banner project may be used and interpretive signage to expand on the stories of Molalla’s heritage and in particular the Molalla Tribe.

The City of Molalla works very closely with the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde to ensure that the Molala Heritage is being appropriately relayed to the public. We have been very fortunate to have them help guide us through this process.

As a continuation of this project, the City of Molalla applied for a Tourism Grant through Oregon's Mt. Hood Territory. The Community Partnership Program (CPP) is offered through Clackamas County Tourism & Cultural Affairs (CCTCA) to provide funding for tourism related projects that that the ability to bring visitors into a community.

In 2018, the City of Molalla applied for a received $15,000 in grant money to be applied toward the Molalla Heritage Art Walk.

Artists were given the opportunity to apply and meet with the City’s Design Team. After a thorough interview process, sculptor Ben Dye was chosen for this project. Follow Ben on his Facebook page for weekly updates of his work.

Sculptures have been placed throughout Molalla in various locations; Fox Park, Clark Park, Long Park, Bear Creek Byway, The Dentist Off Main, and Rotary Park near Bi-Mart.
