"You'll find programming at four venues-PICA's cavernous Hancock headquarters, Pacific Northwest College of Art (PNCA), Winningstad Theatre, and Reed College-featuring a lineup that leans West Coast, with artists hailing from Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, and Los Angeles. Earlier this year, the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) withdrew PICA's $30,000 project grant , funding which was earmarked for artists participating in TBA 2025. The loss underscores the precarity that experimental, artist-first organizations like PICA face. If we want risk-takers to keep showing work in our city, now's the time to support them, yeah?"
"Angelo Scott, Omni Rail PNCA intermedia student and CXL resident artist Angelo Scott kicks off TBA with Omni Rail, a walk-through sound installation that transforms the college into an instrument. How, you understandably wonder? Designed from the 511 Building's stairwells, railings, and cable system, the "ambisonic" project (read: immersive, surrounding the experiencer from all directions) conjures tones from the school's architecture. In collaboration with choreographer Muffie Delgado Connelly, an ensemble will activate the instrument on opening night, sending tones echoing across the atrium, mezzanine, and balcony floors.

PICA celebrates 30 years as the organizer of the Time-Based Art Festival, a two-week experimental performance event running September 4–14. Programming spans four venues: PICA's Hancock headquarters, PNCA, Winningstad Theatre, and Reed College, with many artists from the West Coast. The National Endowment for the Arts withdrew a $30,000 project grant earlier this year, a loss that highlights funding precarity for artist-first organizations. Notable events include a September 6 talk with CXL residency participants and a September 14 closing by Kye Alive’s Good Dang Weekend 2 bingo benefiting Elbow Room. Angelo Scott’s Omni Rail at PNCA offers an ambisonic, walk-through sound installation activated on opening night.
