Miller Family Free Days
The Portland Art Museum joins institutions across the country to celebrate a special edition of the Smithsonian’s Museum Day Live program. Held during Women’s History Month, the program encourages all people, and particularly women and girls of color, to explore their nation’s cultural institutions.
The Museum will be celebrating with family-friendly activities related to the special exhibition Contemporary Native Photographers and the Edward Curtis Legacy. Additionally “Caturday” pop-up events are planned in conjunction with “the world’s greatest cat painting.”
