Community conversations about the arts in Portland often focus on the challenges facing the arts community. Rather than focusing on problems, more effort needs to be placed on identifying and promoting concrete steps that arts organizations, local governments, and higher education can take to support and invigorate the arts. What should be done to improve the position of the arts in Portland? Join PSU for two public forums that address this question.
