Everybody is an Art Person

Everybody is an Art Person

Hello, art person!

We’re so glad you’re here.
When you think of an art museum, you might picture paintings or sculptures. But art is so much more than the “traditional” forms you’re used to seeing in galleries.

Nobody knows that better than Portland. Our city is bursting with all kinds of art forms–from craft beer and comic books to artisan chocolate and collectible sneakers. There’s no one way to make art, and there’s no one way to be an art person.

That’s why we’re building a bigger, more inclusive museum with space to fit more kinds of art (and art people).

We’re excited to open our new and improved doors in late 2025. We can’t wait for you to be a part of it.

Find out more about our museum transformation, and join us in building a space that celebrates the best thing about the city of Portland: Everybody Is An Art Person.

Support the Museum

We’ve partnered with Portland businesses to create unique collaborations celebrating all kinds of art. Support the Museum renovation when you purchase Everybody Is An Art Person products, and consider making a donation that will help the Museum welcome art people of all ages and abilities for generations to come.
