An eclectic, electric live art form is always progressing here. Staged in 8,000 square feet of Portland's Pearl District, Portland Institute For Contemporary Art focuses on getting audiences involved and evolving art into new forms through performance and fusion. Past presentations have included Monsters of Grace, a digital opera, and a benefit with the work of pop surrealist Kenny Schaf. The newer theater always seems to be expanding and raising funds. Members receive discounted admission and other perks.
