Art Studios in Portland That Inspire
Finding the right art studio in Portland can be tricky — you need space that’s affordable, accessible, and surrounded by other creatives who motivate you to keep making. At ADX, artists enjoy bright, open studios with natural light, communal energy, and the ability to customize their work area. Whether you’re painting, screen printing, building installations, or working on your next show, ADX gives you room to grow your practice alongside other working artists.
Many of our resident artists also take advantage of our gallery space to exhibit their work, host open studios, and connect directly with Portland’s thriving art community.
Music Practice Space in Portland — The Hive at ADX
ADX is also home to The Hive, a collective of Portland musicians who share access to sound-treated rehearsal studios and private hourly practice spaces.
