Review for CREATIVE ARTS COMMUNITY, Portland, OR, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

The Creative Arts Community is a non-profit organization in Portland, Oregon.
Everyone interested, from the total novice to seasoned professional, is invited to find his or her own creative path. Every summer since 1966 the Creative Arts Community has provided unique residential workshops at Menucha, just twenty minutes east of Portland, Oregon. Overlooking the spectacular Columbia River Gorge, the historic 90-acre Meier estate offers walking & jogging trails, meditative gardens, tennis & volleyball courts & an outdoor swimming pool. In 2 one-week sessions this August, the workshops feature outstanding instructors, and a variety of small classes in a nurturing community atmosphere. Studios are open 24 hours.

We offer college credit through Portland State University.
