artist in residence Mural © The Artback “The Mushroom Forager,” designed by Nolene Triska and painted in 2012, is one of the various murals painted throughout Estacada. Art Climbs the Walls Estacada’s artists paint the town red … and yellow and purple and … written and photographed by Catie Joyce-Bulay AT FIRST GLANCE, Estacada is a sleepy little pass-through town to get to recreation destinations in bordering Mount Hood National Forest. If you stop to stock up in the grocery store, you can’t help but notice a Native American tribe fishing Celilo Falls under the “Fresh Produce” sign. Then look across the street and huge mushrooms rise from the forest floor among apartment doors and a giant forager. On the wall next door, Chinese-Americans harvest ginseng, an important pre-World War I crop for the region. These are the murals of the Artback Artists Cooperative. Twenty-one in all, they are ubiquitous downtown and in surrounding parks, calling visitors to take notice of the rural town of 3,000’s surprisingly vibrant arts scene. I recently spent a sunny summer morning touring the murals with two of their creators. Walking among them with artists Jenny Joyce and Kolieha Bush, they pointed out weather damage or something they’d change, giving me the history and often naming the people depicted in them. “I think the door should be open on the chapel, don’t you think?” asked Bush while surveying a mural on Second Street. “Kinzy Faire Garden,” designed in 2000 by Am Griswold, who also works in clay, depicts a lush local garden. No longer maintained, its beautiful blooms live on in the mural as part of the town’s history. “We’re doing this for Estacada, for people in the town,” said Joyce, who was part of the project’s founding and designed and led its first mural in 1994. “That’s hard for some to understand, but we’ve had real consistent support throughout the years.” Half of the money they raise for murals comes from donations, the other half from grants. Joyce, who, like Bush, works as an artist for McMenamins, moved to Estacada in the 1990s and soon got to know other artists living there. She had worked with children painting murals through Artists in the Schools, and she helped form the artists cooperative to raise money for the city’s first mural. 54 1859 OREGON’S MAGAZINE SEPTEMBER | OCTOBER 2018
