Let's Build an Open-air Art Museum

We're making creativity more accessible in PDX.

Our Goals

We are a group of creatives using art as a way of building community. We are breaking down the barriers to create, showcase, and experience perspective expanding experiences, join us.

We're group of creatives

We started off as a few residents of Old Town Chinatown who wanted to showcase our art through popup shows and window displays. We've used art to explore difficult topics and inspiring ones. We've grown to a community of creative individuals interested in building third spaces in Old Town Chinatown and Portland metro.

We've hosted multiple gallery popups in various locations. We also host workshops, and meetups.
