For now and into the future. The Hill Arts Performance Center.

Tour the performance center below:

Since 2001, The Hill Arts has provided a home for our arts community to perform. Now we’re ready to offer even more! We listened when the Portland arts community expressed their need and excitement for a mid-sized, state-of-the-art center for performing arts. The comprehensive, 400-seat space at The Hill Arts will create new opportunities for all from performance arts groups, area schools, local and touring artists and arts loving patrons.

Below, hear Emily Isaacson, Artistic Director of Classical Uprising talk about what The Hill Arts Performance Center will mean to Portland’s performing arts groups:
