Multicultural Arts Nights

Our multicultural arts nights program is a specially funded program of events for the school year 2023-24, made possible by grants from OnPoint Community Credit Union and Oregon Health Authority's Youth Advisory Council. 

Buckman SUN in partnership with Buckman Elementary School have committed to hosting 6 different events throughout the school year to highlight local artists and various art forms to celebrate heritage months.

We have an OPEN CALL for local artists to participate (more info here), as well as an open invitation for families to help with the planning and facilitation of these events: 

BUCKMAN OPEN CALL! We are looking for parents/guardians to participate in planning or facilitating our Multicultural Arts Nights programming this year. We received a grant to invite artists of color to present some of their work and do a small artist in residency project with the school in association with six different heritage months highlighting our various communities. We would love to get your input! If you are interested in helping to:

- plan events

- volunteer at events

- offer yourself as an artist/performer to participate in events

- connect with local businesses to support the events (provide food, find offsite venues to host events, etc)

or something else we're not thinking of, please reach out! You can get plugged into the project by emailing Katie at kolson@impactnw.org.
