Cathedral Park Performing Arts Collective (CPPAC) is a non-profit organization serving greater St. Johns and surrounding north Portland communities. CPPAC offers music, theatre arts & dance classes, ensembles, and workshops that convey principles of self-determination. CPPAC operates on the belief that self-determination, a sense of freedom and motivation to do what is interesting, personally important, and vitalizing, is instrumental to the creative process and a key component to achieving one’s goals. Through passion, practice, and the art of performance, life-long learners at every stage can enjoy the benefits of the arts through our programming at CPPAC. From our Tadpoles Music & Movement classes to our Adult Improv classes, we strive to offer engaging classes for everyone with ample opportunities to showcase skills and growth through community performances. Great emphasis is placed on performance, as performing is a powerful learning tool and an effective means towards a healthier spiritual, academic, and social life. It requires effective communication, collaboration, and respect of the process of creating something together. CPPAC believes that empowering the individual leads to active and engaged participants in the group process. As the demands of work and family require that we function in the context of a group, our classes and workshops teach specific skills necessary for future success. Again, performance is our avenue to teach these invaluable life skills.

Exciting things are happening in our building! This Saturday September 26, come out and celebrate the launch of the St. Johns Creative Collective! 🎉

Teacher Zoe will be teaching party dances at 5:30pm and we’ll be there to answer any questions about our class offerings, etc.

From the organizers:
For years, this building has been home to Montessori House and Cathedral Park Performing Arts Collective, and now that we’ve been able to secure it as our permanent home, we have an opportunity to imagine what else can grow here.

Montessori House is already using all of the space available to us through licensed early childhood education, but this building has so much more room for creativity, learning, movement, music, gathering, and connection.

So we created St. Johns Creative Collective.

Our hope is to bring together artists, educators, musicians, makers, organizations, neighbors, and people with ideas they want to bring to life, creating a larger community where we can share space, collaborate, try new things, and make room for people to shine their light.

We’re just getting started, and we’d love for you to be part of what grows here.

Come create with us.

Starts Friday! ⭐️ NEW: Songwriting, Composition, Arranging, and Music Technology

Ages: 10 - 16 yrs.
Instructor: Wesley P.
Meets: Fridays, 6:00-7:00pm
Starts: September 25, 2026

This class is a community dedicated to guiding, encouraging, and supporting students that are interested in creating music of their own. Students in this varied and loosely-structured class are given a venue each and every week to share musical ideas they’re developing, and are given the opportunity to engage thoughtfully with the music of their classmates alongside their own work. Students are presented with a wide variety of lessons, tools, and skills tailored to their own particular stage of artistic growth, and the class even offers some basic education on the technology available to facilitate music creation at home. Students interested in participating in this class should have several years of experience with their voice and/or chosen instrument, as well as a genuine interest in creating their own music.

Scholarships and payment plans available.
