September programming emphasizes learning through local art exhibitions across Portland, Beaverton, Salem, and Alberta Street. Opportunities include Indigenous heritage with Sara Siestreem at Elizabeth Leach Gallery, and Gallery 114's Riparian Reflections focused on ecological observation and the importance of water. The Reser in Beaverton highlights the creativity and careers of Black artists, while Salem Art Association centers historical education and reflection with Black Archive. North Pole Studio, founded in 2020, supports artists with intellectual disabilities and presents The Art of Mark Bishop at Alberta Street Gallery. Bishop's portraits use strong brush strokes, magnification, and bold colors to convey presence, struggle, and resilience.
It's back to school season, which means it's back to learning! Whether you are going back to school or your kids are, it always feels like September is the perfect time to learn something new. This month I want to emphasize the theme of learning. What can we learn from art? What can we learn from each other? How does learning affect our world and what can we do with the knowledge we've gained? Together, let's learn from some intriguing exhibits this month!
Learning doesn't always take place in a traditional classroom and there are plenty of opportunities to explore diverse sources of knowledge this September! In Portland, learn about Indigenous heritage with Sara Siestreem at Elizabeth Leach Gallery. The work in Gallery 114's Riparian Reflections trains its focus on ecological observation and the importance of water. The Reser in Beaverton, highlights the creativity and careers of Black artists. Historical education and reflection is at the center of Salem Art Association's newest exhibition, Black Archive.
