relationships and audience opportunities, all forefronting a disruption of the status quo,
including our own. We are questioning our own ways of working, of taking care of

than its artists and arts workers — it is bigger than all of us. And thus, it is the work of every
stakeholder in the community to uplift PICA’s promise, its haven, its grand enterprise as the
flagship for cutting-edge arts practice in Portland and beyond.
