We foster healing and growth for the creative youth in our community by hosting professional development workshops and inclusive all ages concerts that provide performance opportunities for youth artist and hands on experience for emerging sound techs Who we are:
In the face of many changes to our city, including fast-rising rents and many arts venue closures, Friends of Noise is a dedicated group

which celebrates and preserves Portland's vibrant and diverse arts culture. Friends of Noise formed to create more opportunities for youth to produce, perform, and gather at all-ages music shows, and raise awareness for the need of an all ages venue. We began as a coalition of non-profits and community leaders including My Voice Music, Young Audiences of Oregon & SW Washington, Music in the Schools, Rock ’n’ Roll Camp for Girls, PDX Pop Now!, Willamette Week Give!Guide, XRAY.FM, KBOO Community Radio, and The Rosewood Initiative. Core Values:
-Mentorship and arts education
-Increasing opportunities for youth involvement in our communities
-Safe, inclusive community
-Serving as many students as possible from central and East Portland communities
-Connecting and collaborating with East Portland community groups
-Accessibility for transit-dependent youth
-Engaging youth in all aspects of event planning and production
-Building skills for economic vitality and empower future cultural leaders
-Nurturing exchange between local and national artists
