PICA (Portland Institute For Contemporary Art)
219 NW 12th #100
Portland, OR 97209

Founded in 1995, PICA is a non-profit arts center with the mission of acknowledging and advancing the ideas in contemporary art. Through exhibitions, performances, artist residencies, publications and educational programs, PICA enables artists and audiences alike to push the limits of artistic expression and provocative ideas that illuminate life in the here and now.

The TBA (Time Based Art) Festival brings together a remarkable group of artists from around the nation and around the world for ten days of thougtful, innovative and inspiring performances that address the cultures, aesthetics, issues and ideas of today. Drawing on the vast and varied traditions of theatre, dance, performance, media and visual art, and building on these to create new forms, the innovative projects presented at TBA often defy categorization. TBA is curated by PICA’s Artistic Director Kristy Edmunds and Co-curator Erin Boberg. Work is reviewed on an ongoing basis, and festivals are programmed 1-2 years in advance.
