Map/Directions

Join us for a pre-party to our second showing of Primary Trust on BIPOC Affinity Night, featuring live music from The Zyanna Trio, art exhibit by See King, with select drinks provided by Multnomah Whiskey Library and Deschutes Brewery.

Pre-show Events: 6:00-7:30 PM

ABOUT THE EXHIBIT

King's continuous project Someday Not Today is a visual and auditory journal of his reality, retold with a slight twist. The project consists of a collection of short film scenes that reflect the ephemeral quality of life, with each scene enhanced by a unique musical score that he has composed. King aims to document his artistic development and inspire others to engage with life by valuing both the mundane and the remarkable.

All people who self identify as BIPOC, and their guests, are specifically invited to attend. Though no one will be turned away, it is encouraged that folks outside of the BIPOC community join us on another night!
