In 2018, Portland Parks and Recreation supported the formation of the Community Arts Committee to help shape a sustainable programming and business model for the IFCC. As a result of three years of work, the Community Arts Committee has recommended that the existing site and building be redeveloped and expanded as a center for the arts and culture of Portland’s Black community.
To assesses the practicality of the Community Arts Committee's recommendations, the City of Portland Parks & Recreation is seeking proposals from individuals, firms, teams or consultants with demonstrated experience in leading Arts & Culture Center Feasibility Studies. The objective of the feasibility study is to determine the viability and sustainability of a revitalized arts and culture center at IFCC site.
