Experience Arietta Ward live on July 11th

Arietta Ward is scheduled to perform at The 1905 in Portland, Oregon on July 11, 2026. Ward’s musical style blends elements of indie folk, dream pop, and chamber music, often featuring intricate vocal harmonies and atmospheric instrumentation. Her songwriting frequently explores themes of memory, nature, and personal introspection, drawing comparisons to artists like Julien Baker and Adrianne Lenker. She released her debut album, *Postcards from a Swimming Pool*, in 2023 to critical acclaim.

The 1905 is a restored historic building located in the Mount Pleasant neighborhood of Portland. Originally constructed in 1905 as a church – specifically, the First Presbyterian Church of East Portland – it underwent extensive renovations in the early 2010s to transform it into a dedicated performance venue. The building retains many of its original architectural features including stained glass windows and high vaulted ceilings which contribute to its distinctive acoustics. It now functions as a multi-purpose space hosting a variety of events including concerts, film screenings and community gatherings with a focus on showcasing independent artists. The venue has a capacity of approximately 250 people and is known for its intimate atmosphere.
