Marrow PDX

Marrow (2015-2020) was a youth-centered community space, with a focus on education, the arts, and activism. Our mission was, "to empower teens to take ownership over their education, and to foster a community of youth who are visually, socially, and culturally literate." Marrow provided an environment for any young person (10-24) to: -Pursue learning in a self-directed way; through participation in and facilitation of workshops, classes, and other programming. -Use our drop-in hours to work independently, collaborate with others, take advantage of Marrow's supplies, or just hang out. -Gain a leadership position through our membership program; building real world skills in a particular area of Marrow's operations. -Connect with passionate, honest, rad adults through mentorship and advising. -Exhibit, sell, and curate work in our shop and gallery space. -Book and perform at music and spoken arts events in our main space.
