Portland's Centers for the Arts (stylized as Portland'5 Centers for the Arts),[1] formerly known as the Portland Center for the Performing Arts (PCPA), is an organization within Metro that runs venues for live theatre, concerts, cinema, small conferences, and similar events in Portland, Oregon, United States.
