Multnomah Arts Center — Attraction in Portland

I CALLED AND THERE IS NO SUPERVISORS NUMBER TO BE GIVEN BECAUSE HE IS THE DIRECTOR OF THE CENTER. HOW CONCERNING. Extremely rude information desk people. Never been here before and was waiting in line to ask where a class was. They immediately went up to the kids I had with me telling them to be quiet before addressing me.

Their was a really friendly, helpful, & nice tall woman who gave us very detailed direction on how to find our class : ). We also liked that they have ample parking spot and it is easily accessible. We would like to come back here again at some point to look at all the artwork in the...
