Support Creativity. Celebrate Community. Amplify Underrepresented Voices.

At Alberta Abbey Foundation, we believe that art has the power to transform lives and bring communities together. Located in the heart of NE Portland, The Abbey isn't just a performance and event venue. It's a home for creative expression, cultural celebration, and community resilience.

As a nonprofit, our mission is to nurture the arts in NE Portland by amplifying the voices of Black and underrepresented communities. Your donation directly fuels that mission.
