Portland Artist Network
Mission:
To bring together communities that normally never cross paths and celebrate those groups' contributions to the world through art and unique creative expression, encouraging collaboration and exposure through online resources, multi-discipline events and workshops.
Events:
PAN facilitates, coordinates and produces events through Portland Artist Network Productions on behalf of advocacy groups, local organizations and businesses. PAN combines artist performance and work into what is described as a mini festival atmosphere. We bring together not only the artists but their audiences as well. We highlight locally owned businesses and celebrate businesses which support the creative community at large. PAN makes every effort to accomodate alter-abled individuals and we attempt to ensure deaf interpretation at all events if appropriate. PAN strives to include as many mediums of art in our events as possible while emphasizing local artists.
We value diversity and see it as more than an issue of ethnicity or personal orientation. We actively recruit from diverse groups such as the LGBTQ, refugee, day labor and ethnic minorities as members, contributing artists, performers and audience members.
