VISUAL ARTS—FAMILY FAMILY CLASSES Family arts classes are designed for parents, guardians, and children to interact and participate together. Our philosophy is to honor the child’s creative impulses— focusing on process, rather than product. • Performing Arts classes offer opportunities for children and their adults to participate together in an exploration of movement, song, and creative drama in a safe, joyful, and welcoming environment. • Visual Arts classes provide instruction in the use of art materials and techniques and encourage each child’s individual style of visual expression. We recommend both adult and child wear grubbies as these classes can be messy. All materials are included. Clean-up is part of all MAC youth visual art classes.

COMMUNITY VISION FOR IFCC

past present future

The Interstate Firehouse Cultural Center (IFCC) is a community-based arts center located in North Portland at 5340 North Interstate Avenue. It was founded in 1982 by Charles Jordan, Portland's first Black Commissioner and Parks’ Director. IFCC has served as a cultural home for the Black community in North/ Northeast since its founding. The IFCC Community Advisory Committee (CAC) has proposed the redevelopment of the current site as an expanded Center for Black Arts & Culture with a vision in which “IFCC will serve as an anchor facility where the history of Portland's Black community, and its rich arts and culture contributions can be presented, displayed, discussed, and honored.” A comprehensive feasibility study is in progress to determine the viability and sustainability of the community vision for IFCC.

ARTIST RESIDENCY PROGRAM IFCC is currently activated by the IFCC Grant and Residency Program. Resident artists receive grant money and free space to support collaboration and their creative practice. This initiative is funded by the American Rescue Plan which is part of the City of Portland’s larger Relief and Recovery for Artists of Color program to support Portland artists who have been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19.
