A Proposal to Transform Portland Expo Center
Storyteller Studios is the project title (for now) for a proposal to repurpose the Portland Expo Center into a Cultural Heritage & Storytelling Center and a Film & Music Creative Campus that will celebrate the cultural heritage of diverse communities with a focused eye on the historical centering and economic potential of storytelling and culture particularly as it pertains to those communities with a direct connection to the center and its surrounding lands.

If there was a great creative community center, now would be an opportune time to build it." - Community Study Participant
"It would serve as a home for an opportunity to create the contacts that would be reflective of our skill and allow us to showcase and sell our work on a grander scale. That would allow us to put some of the earned revenue back into the community and use some to fund the next project.” - Community Study Participant
