Portland’s arts and culture institutions face financial woes— Interview on Think Out Loud, Oregon Public Broadcasting


The city Office of Arts and Culture is saying that they need to find more money. And when they’re talking about that and they’re talking about private and public funders… I worry about the city going to funders and saying, “give to us, we support 80 organizations,” and then becoming the gatekeepers of regional funding. The criteria could change on all of us last minute, without any notice. I worry for all of us for that to happen. - Blake Shell
