CHAP ART FACTORY 1030 NW Marshall in the Pearl District. View Map



CHAP Art Factory is home for our out-of-the-hospital art experiences, fundraisers, clothing & art retail, private & public parties, and the CHAP Holiday Bizarre, our 27day fundraising art-a-thon, between Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve each year.

In 2010 we are being hosted through the generosity of Hoyt Street Properties in Portland Oregon. Our amazing 4,200 sq. ft. space is filled with light, art and the creativity of the thousands of children, and adults, that are choosing to become part of our art family. Each year CHAP will move into a new donated location until we have the blessing of a permanent home. You are invited to come on down and make an arty mess with CHAP.
