Founded by poet Joni Whitworth in January 2018, Future Prairie is an artist collective based in beautiful Portland, Oregon.

We host residencies and pay marginalized artists to create art. We are a BIPOC-led organization with opera singer Emmanuel Henreid and choreographer Shakir Najieb at the helm of our 2022 programming. Our work centers forward-thinking narratives from women, disabled, racial, ethnic, gender, and sexual minorities, and low-income individuals.
