Creative Portland is hosting a discussion, shaped by an arts community steering group, to listen and understand how the community is feeling at the one-year anniversary of the pandemic. Artists, Arts administrators, cultural leaders, arts patrons and community stakeholders are invited to attend. Pay what you can to help offset expenses for our facilitators. Artists (of all genres) are admitted for free.
Steering group: Christian Adame, Portland Museum of Art; Kelsey Halliday-Johnson, SPACE; Reza Jalali, Greater Portland Immigrant Welcome Center; Blainor McGough, Mayo Street Arts; Dinah Minot, Creative Portland; & Daniel Minter, Indigo Arts Alliance.
