Our Mission

The mission of Art in Oregon is to foster culturally rich regional communities through partnerships, advocacy and investment in artists, businesses, educational spaces and community spaces. Our goal is to build and sustain art patronage through pride in Oregon artists and pride in art ownership. We work to establish collaborative relationships with the common goal of increased visibility and access to art for all people.

As a Black-led organization, we are specifically interested in uplifting the voices of Oregon’s Black artists and centering the perspective of a Black artists in a wider cultural dialogue.
