“We support: arts by creating op-
portunities for exploration and
collaboration; healing through
therapeutic processes that promote
self-actualization; excellence by
recognizing individuals who lead
by example”.
In concrete terms, their projects
include: providing support and
a gallery for a Blue Moon Staff
Show, a collaboration with Pulp
and Deckle, and NW Film Center
The front of the Wapato Jail
School of Film, and a number of
other gallery shows.

ERNEST, a group of artists cur-
rently based in the San Francisco
bay area. This project is to bring
discussion of the disposition of
the Wapato Jail facility to the fore-
front as the Bonds that funded it
will be paid off in a bit over a year,
in 2016.
If you’re not familiar with Mult-
nomah County’s Wapato Jail story,
it is a jail that was constructed to
be a short term holding facility,
located near the Smith & Bybee
lakes and was completed in 2004,
10+ years ago. Original funding
was provided for its construction,
but none for staffi ng, so it has nev-
er housed a single prisoner in its
525-bed capacity. It has been me-
ticulously maintained, and looks
like it was just completed, both
inside and out. Because it was
funded with County Bonds, many
restrictions concerning its use will
expire when they are paid off.
The c3: - ERNEST collaborative
project’s results will be a video, a
publication, and a symposium in
the fall of 2015 when the video
will be screened. On December
13, 2014, scenes using volunteers
were fi lmed, with other fi lming
over several days. While there, the
volunteers were given a short tour
of key parts of the facility.
The Wapato Jail is no strang-
er to fi lm crews, as segments of
“Leverage” and “Grimm,” as well
as many other advertisements and
public service spots were shot
there. When the Bonds are satis-
fi ed, much more extensive use as a
fi lming location would be permit-
ted or even conversion to perma-
nent sound stages.
(Thank you c3: initiative and
ERNEST for the complete access
given this photographer.)
