Houseguest

Houseguest is a new residency program hosted on Pioneer Courthouse Square (PCS), Portland Oregon’s largest and most accessible public plaza. Also known as Portland’s living room, PCS covers 40,000 square feet in downtown Portland and hosts over 190,000 monthly visitors. Houseguest residents have the opportunity to reimagine this space through creative pursuits that vary from larger-than life-installations to spontaneous, intimate performances and everything in-between. Pioneer Courthouse Square seeks Houseguests of all stripes. We will be hosting four projects by artists, collectives and/or collaborators during 2016. Each Houseguest will work on-site at the Square for a long weekend, facilitating relationship-based, socially-engaged interventions that inspire and catalyze interaction among PCS' diverse publics.
