Portland weekend events: AIDS quilt, Lion King and more

🖼️ Gaze upon Portland artist Chris Chandler's first solo exhibition "Elemental Forms" featuring Bauhaus-esque composition prints at the Elizabeth Leach Gallery for free, Friday until March.

❤️ A portion of the historic AIDS Memorial quilt, which was started in 1985 and weighs up to 54 tons, will be on display at OMSI starting Friday through Feb. 19.

• The tapestry is considered the largest community arts project in the world.

🐲 Celebrate O-Shogatsu (Japanese New Year) at the Portland Japanese Garden with performances and brush painting workshops on Sunday from 10:30am to 3:30pm, included with a daily admission fee.

🪩 If you missed out on seeing Taylor Swift or Beyoncé in concert last year, no fear. The Tomorrow Theater is hosting a back-to-back screening of each superstar's feature film Saturday. Swift is on at 3pm, Bey starts at 7pm. Find tickets here.

🎶 January is Portland Music Month — which features over 100 artists at 28 venues across town. Find what scratches your listening itch here.

• 💭 Our thought bubble: If dancing the night away is your thing, don't miss Portland jazz icon Shirley Nanette at Artichoke Music or Christopher Brown Quartet's performance of David Bowie's album "Aladdin Sane" at Jack London Revue Saturday.
