The Falcon Art Community is the brainchild of Brian Wannamaker and is a unique platform for artists of all kinds. It is distinct in the city as it offers not only studios and work spaces but also apartments to stay in. You will find musicians, actors, composers, sculptors, writers and painters at this facility creating notable work. Set in a building dating back to 1911, the interiors are decked with pieces made by its resident artists. The Falcon Art Community also hosts live performances regularly.

An eclectic, electric live art form is always progressing here. Staged in 8,000 square feet of Portland's Pearl District, Portland Institute For Contemporary Art focuses on getting audiences involved and evolving art into new forms through performance and fusion. Past presentations have included Monsters of Grace, a digital opera, and a benefit with the work of pop surrealist Kenny Schaf. The newer theater always seems to be expanding and raising funds.
