Foreland Presents

Foreland Presents is our intermittent project involving community events that have included public exhibitions, performances, workshops, artist fellowships, and youth sponsorships. Please join our mailing list to learn more. Foreland Presents programs are based on seasonality, demand, and capacity.

We are a commercial project, and our largest footprint consists of workspaces and commercial tenants. However, we’re serious about having a good time.
