Taylor Electric

The Taylor Electric Project at the Electric Blocks, is a collaborative, open-air street art gallery curated by Portland Street Art Alliance that features the work of over 100 artists.

For over a decade (2006-2016), the ruins of the Taylor Electrical Supply Company, located on 240 SE Clay St., became a Portland nexus of local, regional, and national graffiti and street art following a fire that left only the burnt-out husk of walls, a perfect canvas for street art within Portland’s ever-changing Central Eastside Industrial District.

In 2015, what remained of the old burnt out building was demolished. Since 2018, PSAA and artists have collectively rebuilt Taylor Electric into a haven for street art once again.
