Our Mission
PORTLAND IN COLOR envisions a future where our community’s Black, Indigenous, and people of color artists can thrive and sustain their creative livelihoods. We challenge systemic oppression impacting artists through an expansive framework guided by community building, collective wellness, and economic justice. We advocate for ethical compensation and use tools including professional growth opportunities, artist-centered programming, and a free public directory highlighting our members as vital steps towards advancing the state of the arts for BIPOC creatives.
