Green Anchors PDX is a unique eco-industrial arts and community space in North Portland that combines artists, makers, environmental projects, live music, workshops, and small businesses along the Willamette River beneath the St. Johns Bridge.
Located on a reclaimed former shipyard property in the St. Johns neighborhood of Portland, Green Anchors is a seven-acre eco-industrial creative campus focused on sustainability, art, environmental restoration, and community collaboration. The site serves as a home for artists, tiny house builders, nonprofits, makers, musicians, ecological initiatives, and independent businesses, creating an intentionally DIY and community-driven atmosphere.
The space blends industrial infrastructure with gardens, repurposed shipping containers, public gathering areas, workshops, and outdoor performance spaces overlooking the Willamette River. Over the years, Green Anchors has become known as a hub for Portland’s alternative arts and sustainability scene, hosting live music, educational events, river restoration projects, art installations, maker spaces, and environmentally focused community programming.
In recent years, the venue has expanded its role as an outdoor concert destination, partnering with organizations like Soul’d Out Productions to host performances from artists such as Elephant Revival, Beats Antique, Dirtwire, and High Step Society. The venue’s aesthetic mixes industrial salvage, native plant restoration, sculpture art, riverfront scenery, and grassroots festival culture into something that feels distinctly Portland — somewhere between a maker commune, outdoor venue, environmental project, and creative experiment.
