Center Portion is first and foremost about creating community and starting conversations. Sheila Donohue and her husband, Greg Scott, believe so strongly in the power and possibility of art + activism that they carved out space in their home to support it. Center Portion is completely not-for-profit and donations are used for direct support of the artists and activists who present their ideas.
