Please help us keep the momentum going!
Our 2025 Festival was filled with wonder, magic, and the deepest of love for the creative minds of the artists that shared their work with Portland audiences this year. Once again, we filled PICA’s warehouse and Annex Theatre with art as we presented:
5 mainstage works featuring a dozen regional performance artists
2 late-night performances
a 9-hour long marathon one-time-only event
4 different interactive / performative installations
and another dozen different artists in the 3rd Annual Portland Drag Theatre Workshop
And 2026 will be bigger still! Amidst national uncertainty and increasing difficulties for artists, we are committed to being here for them to help them develop boundary-pushing work that will further their careers. Here’s to more risks, more rewards, and more thrilling art in our 18th annual Festival of New Performance!
