The Portobello building, a new cultural life and arts center in the heart of downtown Beaver Falls, will be the first green building of its kind in Beaver County. Boasting a handmade market, cafe, pottery studio, gallery, black box theater, conference room and green space, the Portobello will become a gathering place for artistic expression, events and community.

Once a thriving hub of industry, Beaver Falls, felt the sting as steel mills shut down and vacated the area. In recent years, a feisty group of residents has fought to maintain this once bustling community and are now helping with revitalization efforts in this amazingly resilient city. The Portobello building comes at a time when Beaver Falls is entering a Renaissance and we are honored to be a part of it.

The countdown to breaking ground on the Portobello was altered when funding sources were diverted (rightly) to COVID-19 assistance around the region. We are now working with a start date of 2022-23. With an estimated 12 months scheduled for construction, the timeline for the official debut of our building is slated for 2023. We can't wait to open our doors to you!
