In 1911, the heart of the Irvington community was born when the original Madeleine Church was built. Now, 108 years later, we are proud to announce this historic treasure has been completely renovated as a multi-use event space, and is available to help your events become truly memorable.

After undergoing a thoughtfully spectacular $4.1 million renovation, The Old Madeleine Church, recipient of Oregon’s highest award for historic preservation, is now available for events ranging from 20 to 200 people in an elegant, breathtaking, historic setting. Brand-new convenience with a 1911 aesthetic and feel.

Close to home for generations of Portlanders, and an event destination for many more. The Old Madeleine Church is beautifully appointed to accommodate a wide range of events, from weddings to community meetings, auctions to recitals, and much more.

Patricia Reser Center for the Arts unites us as artists, enthusiasts, individuals, and communities, linking us all with a sense of shared purpose and a touch of the sublime. The Reser is the cultural heart of a flourishing community centered in Beaverton, Oregon. It continuously enhances the cultural life of our region, bringing people together in a space that’s warm and welcoming, and where the art we present invites discovery, wonder, and flights of imagination. This place eliminates barriers and thrives on access, shared experience, and open hearts. The Reser honors the cultures and customs of its diverse community and, using the awesome power of the arts, creates opportunities for deeper understanding and authentic connections between people.

As part of the Mississippi Studios family, Polaris Hall is home to world class concerts, comedy, theater, podcasts, and local community music and art events. This charming building, “Star Ballroom,” was originally built in 1930 by a culturally diverse, working class fraternal organization in Portland. Men from “every rank and station” did work in the name of “friendship, love and truth” here, as did the great women who subsequently bought the building and operated it as the North Star Ballroom for several decades. Located on the corner of Borthwick Ave. and Killingsworth Court. Just a few blocks from Interstate 5 (exit 303), nestled in a historic North Portland neighborhood on the edge of the PCC campus.

Built, owned and operated by and for musicians, Mississippi Studios offers incredible acoustics and sight lines – with all-custom, non-parallel walls & state of the art sound. Mississippi Studios was originally a Baptist Church until 2003. Now a thriving rock venue, here you can catch all the latest on the local band music scene, as well as some avant-garde groups and special productions like 45^th Parallel’s Christmas show.
