About

Land Acknowlegement

PDX CONTEMPORARY ART recognizes and honors the Indigenous peoples of this region on whose ancestral lands this gallery now stands. These include the Willamette Tumwater, Clackamas, Kathlemet, Molalla, Multnomah and Watlala Chinook Peoples and the Tualatin Kalapuya who today are part of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, and many other Native communities who made their homes along the Columbia and Willamette Rivers. We also want to recognize that Portland today is a community of many diverse Native peoples who continue to live and work here. We respectfully acknowledge and honor all Indigenous communities—past, present, future.

History

Opened in 1996 in a beutiful small space, designed by Brad Cloepfil of Allied Works who also designed the larger space opend in 2006, PDX CONTEMPORARY ART continues to be an artist centric gallery which continues to expand and evolve, mounting shows each month while maintaining its mission of facilitating and building artists' careers. PDX is known for consistently programming compelling exhibitions and to be supportive of the community. Representing artists both local and international. Our newest space is in a revitalized quonset hut and part of a Skylab project to develop a creative community on the edge of industrial northwest Portland.
