The PSU Social Practice MFA program and the Hollywood Theater have joined forces to create projects, events and programing in relation to the goals, space and neighborhood of the Hollywood Theater in an effort to bring awareness to the mission of the Theatre as a non-profit as well as to revitalize the Hollywood as site of creative production and community in Portland. This ongoing collaboration will include designing limited edition movie posters, artists in residence, neighborhood documentaries, curated screenings, discussion series, themed events, musical pairings and more.
About Art and Social Practices at Portland State University
The Art and Social Practice MFA Concentration at Portland State University, led by Harrell Fletcher and Jen Delos Reyes, educates and activates students to develop and utilize their artistic skills to engage in society and transcend traditional studio art paradigms. Students learn about a variety of working artists and non-artists who have engaged in civic activity, and apply their knowledge and abilities to initiate, develop, and produce participatory projects with the public– individuals, groups, and institutions.

Last year the TV show Portlandia drew attention to some of the qualities that make our city unique. Maybe for some of you those skits and characters paled in comparison to your own experiences living in Portland. Alongside the second season of Portlandia, the Hollywood Theatre, in patnership with PSU’s MFA in Art and Social Practice program will host the first ever “People’s Portlandia,” a collection of Portlandia inspired skits made by Portland residents.
