The Cog Factory manufactures Cogs in Portland, OR. We take perfectly good weirdos and turn them into obedient slaves of the dominate paradigm! We can teach you to! We can teach you how to make art, whether that be silk screen and zine making, or acrobatics and aerial dance. The Cog Factory is a safe place for people, of all types, to pursue their interests. We teach you how to manage your art like a business. We work to empower minority artists, especially those who identify as Trans, Queer, Womyn and/or a Minority. CoG’s mission is to create art that challenges the notions on which class, gender, privilege, and other social demographics are based. Furthermore, we empower minority artists, especially those who identify as trans, queer and/or womyn, and help them create sustainable economic stability through educational programs and creative opportunities. (*Art: Performances, events, films, videos and animation shorts,
t-shirts, clothing, zines, cards, notebooks, journals, zines and
chapbooks, buttons, activities and everything else that is fun.)
