We invite all of our members to join us for our 2nd annual Winter Variety Show, celebrating YOU.
'Tis the season for gratitude, and we are throwing a party to show our appreciation for YOU. Gather with our extravagant and talented community of artists, media makers, performers, activists, educators, and party people for our 2nd annual Winter Variety Show!
Make sure your membership is up-to-date with a donation through the Give!Guide and help us reach our goal raising $20,000 to support our efforts to transform the media industry locally and at large — donate here and you could also win a host of prizes from us (like a filmmaking kit worth $3,000) and Willamette Week. By doing so, your membership will be renewed through 2024.
Social hour starts at 5pm with refreshments, and the curtain will go up at 5:30pm.
