A concert to support Art in Oregon with the BOOM BAP HIP HOP of Big Papa Warrior & J Magic followed by Portland’s classic PUNK band RED DONS
DOORS OPEN AT 5PM SHOW STARTS AT 6PM
This special benefit concert brings together two powerful forces in Portland’s music and visual art communities for one unforgettable evening at Studio 516. Hip hop duo Big Papa Warrior & J Magic and legendary Portland punk band Red Dons will perform back-to-back inside the working art studio shared by artists and collaborators Jeremy Okai Davis and Tammy Jo Wilson—a space known for hosting vibrant exhibitions, gatherings, and cultural exchange. Both groups feature artists who are deeply invested in Art in Oregon’s mission, serving on its board while actively shaping the region’s creative landscape as painters, performers, and cultural workers. Seeing these artists perform in an intimate studio setting—where music, visual art, and community regularly intersect—offers a rare and electric experience that cannot be replicated in a traditional venue. All funds raised directly support Art in Oregon programs, including BLACK MATTER, TERRAIN, and OPEN AiR, ensuring continued advocacy, visibility, and resources for artists across the state. This is more than a concert; it is a celebration of creative solidarity, cross-genre expression, and the sustaining power of art-centered community.
