2010 ANNUAL REPORT
SPACE is a nonprofit contemporary arts venue
that fosters true creativity through our mission
to present contemporary, emerging and
unconventional art, artists and ideas.
Our strongest programs are those that don’t exist elsewhere in the
community. Where commercial and traditional spaces may avoid
risk, we embrace innovation through bold programming choices and
curiosity-driven curating of exhibits and events. As an incubator,
SPACE helps emerging artists present new work, while making
unconventional art and ideas more accessible to the general public.
SPACE raises the bar for Portland’s art scene by combining strong
local talent with nationally recognized art and artists, presenting a
diverse combination of mediums including visual art, literature, film,
and music. By staying true to our mission and maintaining high
standards for artistic excellence, SPACE continues to challenge the
community’s relationship to the arts.
Each year, we present more than 200 events and more than a dozen
visual arts exhibits, all in our one-room multidisciplinary space. In
the summer of 2011 we’ll be opening a secondary project space
adjacent to our current gallery. There, we will continue our tradition of
supporting contemporary and emerging artists through opportunities
for installations, residencies, workshops and performances.
Program overview

1. Visual Art exhibits:
SPACE continually challenges definitions of art, where art belongs, and how it affects our
thoughts and our lives: SPACE mixes exhibitions of compelling regional and national artists with
emerging local talent, creating a forum for visual expression that is new to Portland.
2. Film screenings:
SPACE’s film program offers access to a wide array of content that otherwise never makes a
big-screen appearance anywhere but the largest cities in the world. 2010 highlights include
Gasland, Exit Through the Gift Shop, Restrepo, Basquiat, and Freakonomics, The Movie and
The Oscar Nominated Short Films.
KREH MELLICK AND KIMBERLY CONVERY
3. Performance:
Up and coming artists make appearances at SPACE before their careers rocket them to
stints on Saturday Night Live, to sold-out shows at Carnegie Hall, or to headline their own
concerts. Named one of the top 40 music venues in the nation, SPACE blends eclectic,
experimental, underground and niche music audiences into its gallery environment. We also
host contemporary dance, theater, and category-defying performance by emerging artists.
4. Public Forums:
SPACE plays host to a number of issue-driven and informational forums each year, with topics
ranging from artist career development to sustainable food production, such as our annual
springtime FOOD+FARM film and lecture series.
5. Collaborations:
SPACE has a democratic atmosphere that makes it well suited for discussion, collaboration
and idea sharing. Local partners appreciate SPACE’s position as the center of the arts district,
its flexibility and informal demeanor. As a result, SPACE has formed dozens of partnerships with
other nonprofits and community groups. In 2010 we hosted Phyzkids, Creative Conversations,
Pecha Kucha, and we launched Block Party, a celebratiopn of the Arts District.
