Color Line Exhibitions

Join Ted Smith, a Portland Art Museum staff member, in front of the Lincoln Statue in the Park Blocks for a free dialogue in honor of the first arrival of slaves in Virginia in 1619. This opening discussion lays the foundation for a communal reflection around the history of slavery in the United States.  Following this gathering are two tours that take this conversation through the collections in the Museum’s galleries.

First tour at 1 p.m.

Second tour 4 p.m.
