Your Support Matters

PHAME empowers individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to lead full, creative lives through arts education and performance. Offering art classes and workshops in a wide range of disciplines, as well as a robust performance program, PHAME challenges students to learn new skills, take artistic risks, and build lasting relationships with people who share their experience of having a disability.

We’re more than just a school: we’re a creative hub where individuals with disabilities create, grow, and truly belong.

This year, PHAME took the bold and exciting step of leasing a 7,300 square foot building in SE Portland to host our programs. After sharing spaces with other organizations for 41 years, PHAME finally has a home of our own.

PHAME is Portland’s longest-standing arts organization serving individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. As we launch into our next chapter, your support provides the backbone of our life changing work. It creates the stability we rely on to keep operations moving forward, and the perseverance we need to innovate again and again.

PHAME’s star is on the rise, but we can’t soar without YOU.
