"Portside has become a key part of our children's' education a true nexus in our community.”- Micah Hanson, Portside Parent
|
"Portside has been my safe haven where I was able to blossom not only as an artist but in my academics as well. I was seven years old when I first walked through Portside’s doors. At the time, I had no idea that I would later consider the Portside to be my second home." - Devon Love, Portside Alumni Age 17
|
"As parents, we deeply appreciate the integral role Portside has played in the development of our daughter's identity as an artist, as well as a citizen." - Portside Parents, Alyse & Paul Lichtenstein
