Understanding the Portland art scene
First Thursday, artist cooperatives and major institutions
Portland's artistic geography follows the neighborhoods as much as the two banks of the Willamette. Pearl and Northwest concentrate historic merchants and First Thursday, initiated in 1986. Old Town brings together the DeSoto Building, PNCA and several memory museums. The South Park Blocks bring together major collections, while Alberta, Kenton and the Central Eastside give a central place to collectives, illustration and experimental practices.

The selection takes into account the regularity of the programming, the quality of the exhibitions, the diversity of mediums and the real possibility of preparing a visit or a purchase.
Start with First Thursday
On the first Thursday of the month, Pearl and Northwest extend their opening hours. Group nearby galleries on foot and check out events announced by PADA.
Cross the Willamette
Alberta, Kenton and the Eastside complement the large establishments with collectives, art boutiques and experimental spaces. The MAX, the bus or the bike avoid increasing parking.
Prepare purchase
Ask for availability, price, origin, certificate, supervision, insurance and transport. For a remote purchase, require detailed photographs and exact dimensions.
