AABC is a free space for artists to gather in Portland, OR. The “Portland” part is specific because we'll be meeting in various locations throughout the city (tbd, based on the groups needs). The "artist" part is expansive & can mean many things (so don't let the label inhibit you from joining).
With support from the Precipice Fund and Portland Arts Project Grant from RACC we've been able to provided free/pay what you can books as well as have funds to go towards collaborating on art offerings to help us metabolize our readings.
