Portland Community Arts Council

The Arts. At first glance, it's a school mural, a summer concert series, a community theater production.


Look a little closer. You'll see educational development, cultural diversity, and economic growth.


Closer still. Inspiration, enrichment, and empowerment come into view. For our youth, our community, and ourselves.


This is the Portland Community Arts.

Summer 2010 in Portland

 

We're creating traditions in downtown Portland.  It's time for our annual Thursdays on the Grand free summer concert series.  We have a great lineup this year and can't wait to see you!  Put Thursdays on your calendar.

 

And while you're at it, put a few Fridays on your calendar, too.  Every third Friday, join us in downtown Portland for art, music, friends, and fun!  Third Fridays start in June.

 

What else is happening?  Our annual Cruise-A-Thong was held on June 19.  And watch for details about our Juried Art Show, All Things Portland contest, and Our Community Lens photograph show . . . all coming in October.
