PHAME

Mission
PHAME empowers individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to lead full, creative lives through arts education and performance.
Bottom Line for Portland
PHAME champions the transformative power of art to affirm the dignity, creativity, and potential of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Through rigorous arts education, ambitious performance opportunities, and a deeply supportive community, PHAME empowers students to grow as artists and human beings—on their own terms. In doing so, PHAME not only enriches individual lives, but works to shift cultural narratives toward a world where inclusive arts access is possible for all.

“Being with each other is what really makes that out-of-the-ordinary, magical experience in the classes we take together. And I wouldn’t have that without PHAME.”
–Julie, PHAME Student
