Imagine 1,000 people, each giving $100. That's our goal—and you could be one of them. As thanks, we'll feature your name on our website and in the credits of every episode. Whatever you can give matters, because together we're unstoppable. Oregon's population is 4.27 million; we only need a small fraction to carry this project for years to come!

The Experience

Sketch + Release comes alive in the communities it celebrates:

15-20 rural Oregon towns will host vibrant public performances and screenings
Live performances that pulse with energy, artistry, and authenticity
Facilitated community dialogues that open hearts and minds
Youth engagement events that inspire the next generation
Conversations about Blackness that go beyond stereotypes to explore richness, complexity, and joy

The Impact

This project doesn't just document—it shifts narratives, builds bridges, and uplifts voices that deserve to be heard across the entire state. We're creating space for rural Oregon to see itself more completely, and for Black artists to be celebrated in all the places they call home.
