History
Our mission is to Empower Portland's Underserved Youth through Art and Music. We do this by offering affordable arts educational experiences to ALL children in Portland regardless of their economic background Vibe of Portland began as an idea in 2006 while Laura Streib, director & founder, was in grad school. While in school she discovered the great need and lack of arts education for students in the Portland Metro area due to budget cuts. Laura felt that ALL kids deserve access to the arts and with that conviction and determination to make that a reality, Vibe began. Vibe specifically targets students who have little to no access to arts education within their daily school setting and provides programs to fill those gaps. Our ultimate goal would be to aid and assist programs already in place within the school day- but until then, Vibe will be providing quality arts education to students who would otherwise fall through the creative cracks of education.
