TBA:19 OPENING NIGHT

OPENING NIGHT BLOCK PARTY BBQ

Come hear what others are excited about, share your schedules, and toast our TBA artists from around the world whose projects, performances, and parties will bring us together for the next ten days. While casual, this gathering around food remains critical. Get fed and feed culture!

After attending Eiko Otake’s TBA exhibition and performance opening at PNCA, along with other First Thursday events downtown, head over the Broadway Bridge to PICA! We’ll have a plate waiting for you. Drop-in style dinner service begins at 7:00 PM and will continue into our first Late Night performance featuring Like a Villain (Holland Andrews) and guest DJs! Plates are available on a sliding scale of $15-$50 and a la carte options will be available during the Late Night shows. Anything you contribute over the base cost will allow us to invite and host a TBA artist at the meal. Vegan, Vegetarian, and Gluten-Free options will be available. Drinks can be purchased separately. Reservations are not required, but we recommend buying a plate in advance!

During the BBQ, Portland favorite Po'Shines will be serving up, Brisket, Ribs, Pulled Pork, Cole Slaw, Red Beans & Rice (vegan), Black Eyed Peas (vegan), Vegan Pull Pork (jackfruit), and of course, Corn Bread & Hush Puppies! 

This event if "OFF PASS".
