The show has been canceled for several reasons. During a party this weekend we accrued some fairly severe property damage. This kind of thing is unfortunately very common for the warehouse. I chose to venture against resignation in the face of past catastrophes in an attempt to create an art-focused event that utilized the beauty and openness of the space for inspiration as opposed to destruction and wastedness. I am sad to say that I have lost my confidence in this possibility. The reputation of the warehouse as a place for huge parties is so strong that no matter how we advertised or executed this event, it would "blow up". In the interest of the survival of the space (the property owners are getting fed up) we simply cannot risk something so probably catastrophic.
Sorry. I love you all (your music)

This is the message I received this morning from Leviticus regarding the
cancellation of the "In Tents" arts exhibit we were very much looking foward to...
Portland: It's chill If you wanna shotgun Four Loco's and do "popper's" all night,
But have respect for the people and spaces that are working real hard to keep this town and these all ages events and spaces going and provide you with a space to hang,because it's all starting to fade.
