A mosaic of images from plays, movies and musical performances.

Everyone’s trying to stay cool this summer, literally and figuratively. Air conditioning is incentive enough to go see plays, movies, dance shows, concerts and visual art exhibitions across the Portland area, though naturally it pays to know how best to take in that sweet AC — that’s arts and culture, baby.

The Regional Arts and Culture Council’s Arts for All program allows Oregon Trail cardholders to get tickets to the area’s top cultural events for only $5. Unless otherwise noted, it’s as easy as walking up and showing your card at the box office to access this discount.

Ongoing and Outdoors

Chamber Music Northwest’s summer festival “Confluence: Our Shared Voices” offers discounted and free performances from some of the world’s best classical and chamber musicians across Portland’s church and college concert halls. Multiple concerts July 1–19, cmnw.org.

The annual Portland Pride Parade and Festival celebrates the city’s LGBTQIA2S+ community with a weekend-long festival at Tom McCall Waterfront Park, and a Sunday parade from Old Town’s North Park Blocks to Waterfront Park. Portland Pride is one of Oregon’s largest annual festivals, and best of all, it’s accessible for everyone. You don’t have to show your Oregon Trail card for a discount to enter the Pride Festival: the $10 entry is a suggested donation, with nobody turned away for a lack of funds. This year, nationally known drag superstars DeJa Skye, Lushious Massacr and Tenderoni will lead a roster of Portland’s top tier talent to energize the crowds and celebrate queerness in all its forms. Tom McCall Waterfront Park, 98 SW Naito Parkway, portlandpride.org. Noon–8 p.m., Saturday, July 18. Parade begins at 11 a.m. in the North Park Blocks. Festival runs
11:30 a.m.–6 p.m. Sunday, July 19. 

Acclaimed English multidisciplinary artist David Hockney died in June. He rose during a time when homosexuality was criminally outlawed in Britain, using art to depict queer life and intimacy in a way that had rarely before been seen by the public. Hockney painted portraits but also took photos and made digital art, textile pieces and collages. Swimming pools are recurring motifs in his work. His painting “Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures)” was one of the world’s most expensive paintings sold by a living artist. Hockney’s art is on view at Portland Art Museum through July 26. PAM’s Center for an Untold Tomorrow (PAM CUT) programmed movies inspired by or referencing Hockney’s art, which are also available for Arts for All patrons. 1219 SW Park Ave., 503-226-2811, portlandartmuseum.org, 10 am–5 p.m. Tuesday–Sunday, free admission 10am–7p.m. on the first Thursday of each month, two tickets for $5 each per Oregon Trail cardholder all other days.
