Since 1973, Artichoke Community Music has provided a creative space for people of all ages and backgrounds to gather, play and share traditional music from all cultures.  

"My husband graduated from Evergreen in the spring of 73, we moved to Portland and I started Artichoke, using a $5000 savings bond my father had bought for me when I was a child. I cashed it in and paid the rent in the little shop, filled it with instruments and we were off and running." -Judith Tucker (Founder of ACM)

Artichoke Music is a non-profit music organization dedicated to building community through music by providing rewarding experiences for people to discover, learn and play music.  We offer classes that celebrate the folk music tradition, a local community music store, and we provide an affordable, comfortable space for music teachers.
