UnStuck: Workshops that Provoke Creativity
Inspire your imagination and expand your creative practice through PAM CUT’s adult workshops designed to connect you with Portland artists. No art making experience required, participants will learn from working new media and storytelling artists about their art making practice, then experiment with materials, techniques, and prompts. You’ll leave with new stories to tell and ways to spark creativity!
WonderLab
Ready for some big fun with your family? Join us for WonderLab, a place where we’ll work together to tell our stories, try new art materials and techniques, and just have a great time! Family groups must have at least one adult participant, and up to 4 children per group.
About Co:Laboratory
Co:Laboratory is an experiment in genre, mediums, and ideas. It’s an opportunity for media artists and art lovers to connect to people, ideas, and innovations.
The Co:Laboratory exists to inspire new projects, new skills, and new ways of seeing. In the spirit of all creative endeavors, it’s designed to be an ever-evolving, community-driven, ongoing work-in-progress.
Our expansive talks, workshops, and programs invite you to bring imagination, innovation, an open-mind, and a willingness to try something new. Our programs are designed for professionals of all ages and levels. Many programs are team-led to include a variety of perspectives.
PAM CUT is always learning and listening. We work with our Advisory Board, and with local and global communities to help shape a more inclusive future for cinematic stories. Together we test, experiment, study, and practice. We question. We take risks and create something new.
So if you love storytelling, work as a media artist in the Pacific Northwest (and beyond!), or want to change the status quo — we can’t wait to meet you!
