If a city-supported, committed effort toward making Interstate Firehouse Cultural Center a hub for the Black arts and culture community comes to fruition, it could be a beautiful thing, organizers
Portland Parks Commissioner Carmen Rubio, Portland Parks & Recreation, and the Interstate Firehouse Cultural Center Community Advisory Committee have announced efforts to advance the community-led vision for the public space at IFCC. The IFCC Community Advisory Committee (CAC) proposes the building be redeveloped as a site where the history of Portland s Black community - and its rich arts and culture contributions - can be presented, displayed, discussed, and honored. This vision is moving forward.
