TBA:24 OPENING DAY

DESCRIPTION

The 2024 Time-Based Art Festival opens by honoring the Portland tradition of First Thursday with a come one, come all jam session with Videotones, Elbow Room’s neurodiverse digital media collective. No musical ability required—bring yourself, an instrument,* your voice. Come make a sound or just witness our giant, undulating community band.

At 5:00 PM on September 5, we will meet in front of the Pacific Northwest College of Art (PNCA) to usher in TBA:24 with our joyous and discordant noise, then move inside to 511 Gallery for the opening reception of the Videotones exhibition Outside Inside World. After the festivities at PNCA, continue your evening with the many First Thursday events taking place throughout the Pearl District. Our sincere thanks to PNCA for hosting this exuberant group happening!

 *If you wish to bring an amplified instrument, the Videotones artists can plug you in! Come a little early to set up. Acoustic instruments are also encouraged, no set up required.
