Empowering Portland’s Youth through art & music

Inspiring the next generation of creative leaders

One person with dreadlocks wearing a blue sweater is on the left, a person with a hoodie and hoodie over their head is in the center looking at a magazine, and a young man in a red jacket with a rainbow medal is on the right looking down.

Vibe started as a vision in 2006, became a nonprofit in 2007, and from then on has been dedicated to connecting Portland youth with high-quality arts and music education.

Through our Vibe @ School programs, Vibe Studio camps and workshops, our annual East Winds Band Camp, and the Summer St. Johns Art Walk, we create spaces where creativity can blossom.

We believe that creative expression is essential to living a full, meaningful, and connected life—and we’re committed to making sure all kids have the opportunity to experience it. We break down barriers to creativity so kids and our community can thrive.

Get to know Vibe better

As one of the only arts educational nonprofits in the Portland Metro area, Vibe strives to ensure that kids throughout the northwest have access to quality arts education.

We often say - wouldn’t it be great if Vibe didn’t exist? That would mean that arts and music would be FULLY FUNDED with arts educators in every school. Until that becomes a reality, Vibe will be here to advocate and serve the community.
