On August 3rd, Cupcake Jones, a locally owned bakery at 307 NW 10th Ave in Portland, will be donating 5% of their proceeds to Northwest Pilot Project.  If you walk in and buy cupcakes, or place an order on August 3rd, we will receive 5% of what you spend.  What a great way to support a local business and benefit NWPP at the same time!

Northwest Pilot Project is honored to have been chosen by Oregon Business magazine as one of the "100 Best Nonprofits to Work for in Oregon".

JULY'S SHOW FEATURES MINIATURES BY Pat Field, Frances Wood and Linda Coffman         

Many of our clients are wonderful artists and our Art in the Lobby Program provides a creative experience in the visual arts.  Select senior artists associated with NWPP are able to display their work in the Northwest Pilot Project lobby at 1430 SW Broadway, Suite 200.

Artists are usually recommended by NWPP staff or fellow artists in the art group and contacted by the Art Group Curator, Doug Emmons.  Doug schedules the shows that typically run for one month.  The artist handles the price and sales of artwork.  Our lobby is open Monday through Thursday 9 am to 4:30 pm and Friday 9 am to 4 pm.

The exhibition is advertised in the monthly activities newsletter and on this site.  The artwork, if requested is picked up and returned by NWPP.  Artwork is made exhibition ready by the artist.  Doug discusses labels, statements and special display requirements with each artist. 

Field trips, workshops, guest artists and art gallery visits are some of the activities available to participants in the Art in the Lobby Program.

Please contact Dena Chilikos, Volunteer Program Coordinator at 503-478-6861 with any questions.
