Do you have housing in the Portland, Oregon metro area?

Will you be traveling from outside the Portland metro area?

Would you need a travel stipend?

Could you attend with a partial travel stipend?

We have reserved a block of hotel rooms at Crowne Plaza Downtown Portland at the discounted rate of $169/night.

The hotel is about a 10 minute walk from our Thursday and Friday daytime location, a 10 minute walk from our Friday evening location, and a 15 minute streetcar ride plus 5 minute walk from our Saturday and Sunday location.

Would you be interested in staying in the conference hotel? (we ask to make sure we're in the right ballpark for how many rooms we've reserved -- attendees will be responsible for booking their own accommodations)

Would you like us to share your contact info with other attendees interested in finding a roommate?

We are crowd sourcing a list of resources that provide professional development funds to artists. We ask you to please check that list and to check with your tribal nation about travel and professional development funds. If there are resources available to you, please apply to them so that our limited travel scholarships can support as many people as possible.

If you know of resources that might support fellow artists and arts administrators' travel, please add them to the list!

Examples:
Center for Cultural Innovation Quick Grant (up to $600 for California residents)

Are you an Individual Artist or a Company Representative?
