Laurelhurst Studio

A historic space, reawakened

We’re proud to partner with the City of Portland and Portland Parks & Recreation to bring Laurelhurst Studio back to life through a long-term public–private partnership—restoring this beloved space without new City capital investment, and returning it to community use, where it belongs.

Sellwood Community House will lead restoration, programming, and stewardship, building on years of work creating accessible, intergenerational hubs for arts, play, and connection— this time in Laurelhurst Park.

What’s ahead: dance, fitness, arts education, community gatherings and culturally responsive programming shaped in partnership with the community and neighborhood.

This is what it looks like when we invest in shared spaces, together.
