We’re Getting So Close!

We’ve received many fantastic submissions and will be hashing out the schedule in a few days! We’ll keep everyone posted!

In the meantime, check out The Waterheater! The folks there have not only been nice enough to host the festival, but they are basically letting us camp out there for a week to get things nice and ready. If you haven’t been there, its a rad new community art space right off the Mississippi district. They are located at 750 N Fremont St. Portland, OR 97227

One thing we’re pretty sure of is that the opening reception will take place Saturday September 18th from 5pm-7pm, please come early as The Waterheater has a bar and a delicious grill with reasonably priced options for omni/vegetarian and vegans! We want to support this rad space!

Here are some photos of the space. Now, just imagine it filled with art and homosexuals!

From their website….

We are a non-profit communal arts space, dedicated to the communities that bore us, that helped and fed us, that watered us and watched us grow.

By October, all of our dreams will be standing in wood and metal and drywall, in porcelain and glass. A wood shop, a metal shop, a commercial kitchen, a brewery, an indoor stage and event space, a gallery, and fixed term artist studios are in the works. You will be able to use our tools, our space, and the expertise of experienced craftspeople to help build your dreams out of whatever materials you choose. We will make it easy for you to use the skills you have, or to learn the skills you want.

Please come talk to us if you would like to help in any way. This space is by and for volunteers above all.
