PICA ANNOUNCES THE TWENTY-FIRST ANNUAL TIME-BASED ART FESTIVAL
SEPTEMBER 5-22, 2024 / PORTLAND, OR
“In 2003, as we launched the first annual Time-Based Art Festival, we hoped that the name ‘TBA’ could be an expansive container for the kinds of work artists would make in the future, and that artists would shape the Festival, our organization, and our culture in unexpected ways. Now, TBA is known as a time and place where we expect the unexpected as we reconnect with old friends and welcome new artists, audiences, and ideas. We gather for shared experiences that help us make meaning and make meaningful change.”
— Erin Boberg Doughton, Artistic Director & Curator of Performance
Kristan Kennedy, Artistic Director & Curator of Visual Art
Portland Institute for Contemporary Art (PICA) presents TBA:24, an annual celebration of contemporary art and full creative expression, taking place September 5 through 22, 2024. In its twenty-first year, TBA:24 does not shy away from the uncomfortable or the urgent problems facing our world. This festival brings audiences and artists together to share in the joyous, complex experience of being alive, while amplifying work that is bold in its thinking, collaborative, and challenging. With offerings ranging from seated performances to exhibitions to informal happy hours and dance parties, TBA:24 is an opportunity to connect—not only with vital art and ideas, but with one another.
