Apartment Rental

Are you a program partner or alumni wanting to inquire about renting the Park Block apartment? Send us an email.

One of the ways we support artists, creatives, and community orgs is by offering subsidized rental of our apartment in downtown Portland. Rentals are offered to our program partners, and alumni. We consider this to be an extension of our relationships and do not offer rentals to unaffiliated artists, creatives, or orgs. Read on to get details about the space and what it offers.
