Our Goals

Our goal is to create participatory art and experiences that build connection, amplify local stories, and leave communities stronger than we found them.

  • Tell Local Stories

    We looking to publish a community-driven arts and culture magazine that highlights local artists, projects, events, and resources. Our goal is to make Portland’s creative ecosystem more visible, connected, and accessible.

  • Play, Experiment, Create

    We collaborate on shared creative projects that invite play, experimentation, and learning. Through collective making, we test ideas, share resources, and build work with social and community impact.

  • Find Creative Support

    Do you want to work on an art project alongside other creatives? Come to an art social club meeting to get some support. We love projects that have a social/community focus and benefit.

We're group of creatives

We began as a small group of Old Town Chinatown residents creating pop-up shows and window displays to share work where people already gathered. Today, we’re a growing community of creatives building third spaces across the Portland metro. Through exhibitions, workshops, and creative projects that invite participation, connection, and shared ownership.
