PDXCC is a monthly gathering where participants make and share analog correspondence in the great mail art tradition of Ray Johnson and Anna Banana: art and conversation through the mail. This uniquely democratic, DIY art form incorporates writing, drawing, collage, rubber stamps, faux postage, decorative tape, typewriters – anything goes, as long as it goes through the mail. Hang out, skill share and send the glorious results through the mail. Monthly events hosted by the Portland chapter of the Correspondence Co-op and Niko Courtelis. Basic materials will be on hand (scissors, glue sticks, envelopes’85), but you’re encouraged to bring whatever materials fuel your creative spirit. Free and open to the public, every third Tuesday of the month.
Poetry Practice Space is a monthly gathering for poets and writers. Writing materials, readings and prompts for generative writing will be provided.

Consider Poetry Practice Space the calisthenics for your poetics. Suggested donation, no one turned away for lack of funds Free for members

Join us for the first of what we hope will be a regular writing group meetup. The idea is to bring folks together, find out what they want out of the group, and make it something that everyone participating helps to create. We are creating a dedicated space to write, share, and connect with other trans and queer writers. Whether you want to start from a group prompt, journal, work on that novel/poem/interactive fiction you’ve been dreaming up, or anything else, this space is for you! Laptops or long hand, we want everyone to use what works for them. What the group ultimately ends up being very much depends on what folks want out of it, so come to our first meeting and share your…
