Please join us for a free screening and showcase of recent interdisciplinary work by Future Prairie artists, followed by a Q&A. Founded in January 2018 by Joni Renee Whitworth in Portland, Oregon, Future Prairie is a 501c3 non-profit organization and artist collective led by women and queer creatives. We develop and mentor emerging and under-represented artists. We also produce a monthly podcast, host a quarterly variety show, and curate exhibitions, panels, performances, and published works. When we say "under-represented artists", we are specifically referring to creatives of different abilities, races, gender identities, national origin, religion, and age.
