Located in NW Portland, Church of Art is an art-centered approach to community building.
We offer low-pressure art hangs for adults who want to play with art supplies alongside other adults–in person–with snacks!
Whether re-claiming your childhood creativity, a professional artist, or something in between: come as you are, make some art, and walk away with that sweet feeling of personal connection.
