The 2026 HeART of Portland: K-12 Arts Showcase + Miller Family Free Day

Overview

Welcome to the HeART of Portland: K-12 Arts Showcase + Miller Family Free Day! Enjoy free admission all day in celebration of youth arts and the community partnership between the Museum and city schools. Make art, see student performances, and visit the HeART of Portland K-12 Visual Art Exhibition in the new Silver Family Youth and Community Gallery. Explore PAM’s new Rothko Pavilion and the exhibition David Hockney: Works from the Collection of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation which inspired the HeART of Portland collaborative art project. 

Thank you, Portlanders, for the Arts Access Fund! Come celebrate more than 10 years marked by the excellence, wonder, and curiosity of student artists whose talents have been cultivated by the generosity of Portland taxpayers. The Arts Access Fund provides for elementary arts teachers in the six school districts serving Portland and for expanded access to the arts for all Portlanders. At this free day celebration, we are thrilled to present student performances from four districts served by the Fund: Centennial, Parkrose, Portland Public Schools, and Riverdale.

Free tickets can be reserved online one week in advance and are also available at the door.

Miller Family Free Days are generously supported by Sharon L. Miller and Family. Additional funding is provided by The Lamb Baldwin Foundation.
