The Mission

Our mission is to provide an interdisciplinary exhibition space to display challenging concepts in the visual and performing arts.

It is an exhilarating, watershed moment to be involved in the arts in Portland. Unprecedented growth—from the Modern Zoo and Core Sample to PICA's TBA festival, from the Affair at the Jupiter Hotel and the Cooley Gallery at Reed College to the Portland Art Museum's North Wing—has the city abuzz with possibility. Building on this momentum, Disjecta seeks to create an arts epicenter by launching its new interdisciplinary arts facility in the Templeton Building and creating a beacon on the inner-Eastside for the visual and performing arts.

Since it's inception Red76 has gone from organizing underground art parties that lasted all night and into the morning to facilitating the implementation and construction of an archive of impromptu drawings of the hopes and thoughts of close to 2000 New Yorker's at New York's Drawing Center and the subsequent distribution of over 11,000 multiples back onto the streets of New York in the form of books, stickers, door hangers, matches, and much more. Since its start in early 2000 Red76 has created well over 50 projects, large and small, that have been realized in Portland, North America, and Internationally.
