Upcoming Projects
Grant Programming
One area of focus will be providing grant programming for local artists and performers. Coming in 2027
Local Residencies
We are partnering with local arts organizations to provide residencies to local artists. Coming in 2027
We are launching slowly and with intention. The hope is that this organization will provide a bridge between the community and the act of creation.
Tiny Art Supply Library
We’re so excited to be launching a series of small free art supply libraries to help support the act of creation in Clatsop County. They are free and open to use. By donating supplies or telling others about the libraries you will be helping keep art accessible to your neighbors.
Astoria Zine Fest
The Astoria Zine Fest is a vibrant celebration of self-expression, independent publishing, and the weird, wild, and wonderful world of zines. Meet zinesters from across the region, explore tables packed with art, stories, comics, manifestos, and more. Whether you're a seasoned self-publisher or zine-curious, come flip through the fringe, trade ideas, make your own mini-masterpiece, and connect with a thriving underground community.
