Join us at The Armory as we welcome the Fall season with a double bill featuring Afro-Caribbean influenced, genre-bending jazz by Portland Kora Project and some "folktronica" by Portland based experimental folk artist Mree.

As an exclusive First Thursday perk, we welcome the public to step into an open house of the U.S. Bank Main Stage for a preview of The Color Purple set design.

For every First Thursday, we also open our doors to the community: whether you're just strolling by, headed to a gallery down the street, or here for a show, come on in and join us for local music, snacks a-plenty and a complimentary beer from our neighbors over at Deschutes.
