Disjecta Studio

As part of our Growth Plan, we are excited to present our 1,600 square foot performance space, newly renamed the Disjecta Studio. This studio honors the history of Oregon Contemporary, formerly known as Disjecta Contemporary Arts Center, and provides a dedicated place for the kind of events that have remained at our core as we have grown from pop-up to roving non-profit to our current home here in this building: performance, art, and all kinds of events by the artists & communities of Portland that we continue to serve today.

Oregon Contemporary is pleased to partner with Cascade AIDS Project’s Art Auction this year, in celebration of their 40th anniversary. ?Get your first look at the art  and start bidding on your favorite pieces starting March 1st.

We believe in the values of CAP and its inclusive health and wellness services for LGBTQ+ people, people affected by HIV, and all those seeking compassionate care. By combining forces for the auction, our two non-profits are able to maximize the fundraising for both organizations, while asking artists to give once in support of two causes. 

Oregon Contemporary curated 40 works for the 40th anniversary which will be in the live and silent auctions. Additionally we juried the open call for the additional artwork included in the silent auction. Oregon Contemporary is receiving a portion of the auction proceeds, while the event tickets, donations support CAP. Oregon Contemporary will host a gala event in the summer for its main party of the year.

CAP has been supported by the art community since the inception of its auction gala event. Oregon Contemporary’s team is excited to collaborate with CAP – doubling the impact of the artists who support each of us and using new models to ensure Oregon’s communities are continuously supported.

More details on events coming soon!
