Wildwood, Follow The Crows Art Trail & Event Series
https://ohsufoundation.org/wildwood-events/
An art trail benefiting OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital
Launching August 7, 2026, Wildwood: Follow the Crows is a new public art trail presented by LAIKA, in partnership with OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital, Wild in Art, the Portland Metro Chamber, Downtown Portland Clean & Safe, and supported by the Visit Downtown Campaign.
The trail will feature one-of-a-kind sculptures, hand-painted by local artists, and is sponsored by generous donors from the Portland-metro community. All the sculptures will be auctioned off once the art trail closes in fall of 2026, and the proceeds will support OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital.
LAIKA’s movie Wildwood opens in theaters nationwide on October 23. See the story that inspired the Trail come to life on the big screen.
Welcome to Wildwood — where magic takes flight.
Stranger Things; the Musical Parody
It's even stranger with music and dancing...
In 1986, a secret lab in the small town of Hawkins, Indiana opens a portal to a dangerous dimension, the Upside-Down. After a young boy is taken, his friends and family meet some powerful allies and try to rescue him, and stop the monster from the other side. Based on Season 1 of the popular Netflix series, this musical parody is chock full of heart, laughs, nostalgia, dancing, ridiculousness and scares, as well as a bunch of 80s songs everyone knows and loves.
So come on out to Funhouse and turn that frown Upside-Down.

Hurry back. We're dying to tease you.
The Raven, An Opera
Jesse Preis debuts The Raven, a chamber opera composed for three voices and chamber ensemble from Edgar Allan Poe’s poem of the same name, directed by Melory Mirashrafi. In this opera, the narrator (split into two characters to capture the perspective of the Past and the Current at two different stages in life) deals with the loss of a loved one. These complicated, painful, and even terrifying emotions become personified through the character of the Raven. This work is composed with no specific voice types tied to the characters - anyone able to sing the part can and should sing them. This is a groundbreaking composing technique that unties the binds of gendered characters and allows vocalists to portray a character of any gender that is authentic to them and suits their voice. Preis seeks to expand our understanding of vocal writing to go beyond the gendered conventions of soprano, mezzo-soprano, tenor, and bass-baritone, and posits a world where characters are simply written and performed by a wide variety of voices.

Telltale: The Ghost Show
Oh sweet darling, it's that time of year again. Where we honor the dead, fight for the living, embrace the strange, and hold hands in the face of everything—it's the 5th annual Ghost Show, presented by Telltale! Telltale regularly curates nights of storytelling for folks that like to get vulnerable and take no shit, but this night will be special. This is the night where we bring all our loss and joy together.
For us, ghosts can represent all the grief and loss of these bizarre and heavy years, the way the things and people we love are never really gone, and a way to get your heart racing in the middle of the night. Ghosts help us tell important stories and hold onto things we can’t let go of yet.
Telltale promises to bring you a makers market selling odd things, an opportunity to send your future self a note, live music from Stephanie Strange, storytelling, comedy, an incredible raffle, ghost shaped snacks, beer tasting, a photo corner, the INKBUS ink doing ghost tattos, a truly lovely group of people to spend time with, and perhaps a few ghosts in attendance if we play our cards right. It’s going to be a party. I really recommend dressing up, whatever that means to you.
Telltale knows that time is short and we have to do our best with what we’ve got. Please join us in raising a glass to those that are gone, and then raising another glass for those that are still here.
Life is short. Let’s have a nice party. With ghosts.
