About Us

PORTLAND IN COLOR envisions a future where our city’s Black, Indigenous, and/or people of color creatives are supported beyond visibility. Through community events, local partnerships, and a public directory, we create and foster opportunities for collaboration, artistic and professional growth, and tools to sustain creative livelihoods. We highlight the voices, experiences, and contributions of our community as a vital step towards an equitable arts and media landscape.
