Hangar 13 is Portland’s newest creative sandbox—housed in a historic Quonset hut and powered by the same irreverent minds behind The Peculiarium. It’s more than a space—it’s a living, breathing ecosystem for artists, builders, performers, and risk-takers. Designed as a third space for those who make, Hangar 13 hosts an ever-evolving calendar of events that celebrate participation over performance.
1799 NW 22nd Ave, Portland, OR 97210
🎨 First Thursday at Hangar 13
A curated monthly night of rotating art exhibitions, live performances, and interactive installations—staying true to The Peculiarium’s ethos of weird, wild, and wonder-filled creativity.
🎭 + 🎶 Live Action & Music Nights
An unpredictable blend of performance art, vaudeville, experimental soundscapes, theater, and live music. From raw storytelling to genre-defying sets, these immersive evenings spotlight Portland’s boldest performers and sonic risk-takers in a playful, offbeat atmosphere.
🎬 Actors Tank
A recurring workshop space for actors to train, collaborate, and develop scenes together. Open to performers of all levels, this is a supportive, experimental lab for on-your-feet storytelling.
