What is PHAME?

At PHAME, we believe that art is for everyone. Community is for everyone. Excellence is for everyone.

Imagining your dreams—and pursuing them—is for everyone.

PHAME is a school of the arts and performance. Our classes range from musical theatre to song writing, from digital photography to poetry. Our performance program puts students in front of audiences in Portland and beyond.

We're also a community—a place where people with and without disabilities come to connect, make friends, learn, and grow.

PHAME. Creating art. Expanding possibility.
