“PICA needs a secure home and spaces for large scale projects. For example, their annual Time-Based Art Festival is endangered in the shifting Portland landscape. I don’t want to know what Portland is like without PICA. They have been providing a critical civic and cultural contribution for 20 years and I want to see it extend into the far future,” said Furlotti.
Our new space at 15 NE Hancock will accommodate the PICA office and open-to-the-public resource room library and will also provide a large-scale flexible space suitable for performances, exhibitions, residencies, public programs, community gatherings, as well as a separate annex space that will allow additional programming opportunities. Our new home will be the hub of year-round artistic and educational programs, Time-Based Art Festival (TBA) programming, and TADA! annually.
"We have dreamt of this moment. When the ground beneath our feet is less volatile. When we can channel our energy in full support of the imagination and endeavors of artists, and the creative connections with audiences," said Angela Mattox, Artistic Director.
