ABOUT us

Vibe is a multi-faceted art and music educational nonprofit committed to ensuring equitable access to quality arts education experiences for long-term positive growth. Founded in 2007 with the goal of seeing arts education fully integrated back into the school day for all students in Portland, Vibe is currently offering camps, workshops, and classes as we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Moving forward, Vibe is excited to be continuing our partnerships with our community partners: Portland Moose Lodge #291, The Craft Factory, Rose City Community Collective, Portland Child Art Studio, and the Vibe Music Studio at the Cathedral Village Apartments in St Johns (North Portland).

VIBE’S STATEMENT OF JUSTICE, EQUITY, DIVERSITY & INCLUSION:

We stand with our partners in the music, art, education, and nonprofit communities in denouncing prejudice and racial injustice and calling for the inherent dignity of all people. Musicians, artists, and educators have long used their crafts as a means of rising up in the face of injustice, and this moment is no different. East Winds Music and Vibe of Portland are committed to understanding our inherent ‘blind spots,’ where we have been and are deficient. We are committed to learning how we can better support all in the community we serve, including our students, families, and our teachers and staff – especially those communities and individuals who have historically been marginalized.
