Portland Art Museum

The Portland Art Museum will establish a new exhibition and interpretation gallery to foster a deep understanding of Native American art and artists in the contemporary world. The gallery will bridge the gap between museums and the large local Native American community through meaningful engagement. The museum will work with an advisory committee of Native community leaders and artists to develop e a robust schedule of programs and exhibitions including art demonstrations, community conversations, and artist talks. The project will encourage community participation with programming focused on Native American art and artistic practice from the perspectives of Native Americans and create a space of community engagement that also encourages deep thinking about contemporary issues in Native American culture.
