MP5, Programs and Events
Milepost 5 is a Community for Creatives. The vision is for much more than a building where people with common interests are neighbors. We want to bring creative individuals together and empower them as a group; providing an infrastructure of programs and events that allows the community to showcase its work and provides the community with resources.
While Milepost 5 has already started exciting curatorial and residency programs and hosted some very successful events with formidable guest curators; the largest part of the project lies ahead.
The first phase of the project, The Lofts, is complete with 54 live / work units with, common spaces, a basement for storage, and community garden space. The second phase of the project, The Studios, will be more than twice as large. The 54,000 square foot facility will have up to 103 work and live/work rental spaces as well as considerable common and commercial space. The plans for The Studios include a restaurant, performance venue, gallery spaces, creative business space, and a number of other possibilities.
To develop programs and events for this large, diverse, mixed-use community space, the creative director is working with a wide range of individuals to design creative programming that best utilizes the existing infrastructure and best suits a creative community's needs.
Milepost 5 Programs is a 501c3 non-profit organization registered under the Portland Preservation Trust
