The mission of the Portland Art Museum is to engage diverse communities through art and film of enduring quality, and to collect, preserve, and educate for the enrichment of present and future generations. The Portland Art Museum recognizes and honors the Indigenous peoples of this region on whose ancestral lands the museum 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 River. 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—and are grateful for their ongoing and vibrant presence.

FROM THE DIRECTOR Dear Members, I am so glad that this magazine is reaching you in your homes again, after an unprecedented hiatus. The act of producing something familiar is reassuring, and yet as you read through the pages, you will notice some changes and signals of a future that has been shaped by the experience of this past year and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. As I write this introduction, the Portland Art Museum and Northwest Film Center have been closed by governor’s order since mid-November, the second pandemic closure necessary to protect community health. After the first closure in March, we were able to reopen for several months this summer and fall, offering a space for respite and healing during a tumultuous year. We look forward to welcoming visitors in person again safely when we are able, thanks in large part to the commitment and hard work of our front-line staff—visitor service associates, protection services officers, facilities and Museum Store staff. Our ability to be open, to employ as many staff as possible, and to plan for the future is possible because of members like you, more than 1,200 individual donors during our time of closure, government support, and local and national funders. I am so proud of the way that our Museum has risen to the challenge of change—pivoting to online content, rethinking in-person visitation, prioritizing health and safety, finding ways to connect with the community, supporting artists, and keeping a sharp focus on our equity and inclusion goals. Art has always played a vital role in connecting people to each other and their communities, and we need that connection now more than ever. Because of your support, the Museum and Film Center will continue renewing, challenging, and connecting us. Thank you, members.

EXHIBITIONS & INSTALLATIONS
ANSEL ADAMS in Our Time
JANUARY 30 – MAY 30, 2021 Main Building, Floors 1 & 2 Ansel Adams in Our Time, making its only West Coast stop at the Portland Art Museum, celebrates the remarkable artistry and visual legacy of the acclaimed American landscape photographer and educator. More than 100 photographs by Adams, from his earliest marketed prints to his world-renowned Western vistas, trace the artist’s development and maturation over five decades while pointing to his continuing influence on landscape photography today. Seventy-five images by artists working both before and after Adams, interspersed among his vintage prints, provide a deeper perspective on themes central to his practice, demonstrate the power of his legacy, and will spark critical conversations about the state of the American landscape in the 21st century. Organized by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and curated by Karen Haas, the MFA’s Lane Senior Curator of Photographs, Ansel Adams in Our Time draws from the outstanding Lane Collection of more than 6,000 American modernist photographs, works on paper, and paintings. Deeply thoughtful and dedicated collectors, Saundra and the late William Lane forged a long-term relationship with Adams, over time acquiring 450 of his photographs. The Lane collection includes many iconic works such as Clearing Winter Storm, Yosemite National Park (ca. 1937), as well as a range of quieter but no less impactful photographs like Grass and Burned Stump, Sierra Nevada, California (1958). Ansel Adams in Our Time demonstrates the artist’s embrace of the American landscape as a singular yet remarkably wide-ranging photographic subject. The exhibition’s seven thematic sections chart his influences, his own artistic development and creative range, and the many ways that photographers frame the landscape today. Highlights include Adams’s early pictorialist works of the Yosemite Valley, emerging modernist views of San Francisco and the American Southwest, and mature

photographic celebrations of national parklands including Yellowstone in Wyoming, Glacier Bay National Monument in Alaska, and Hawaii National Park. Photographs by contemporary artists Jonathan Calm, Zig Jackson, and Will Wilson question concepts of land ownership and belonging in the American West, while Binh Danh, Abelardo Morell, and Catherine Opie point to the continued fascination with and documentation of the nation’s national parks. Although he produced glorious views, Adams did not turn away from the more troubling aspects of land use and the threat of environmental destruction. He documented drought conditions and ghost towns, and even experiences of interned Japanese Americans at the Manzanar War Relocation Center during World War II. Indeed, Adams’s magnificent landscape photographs push beyond the visual pleasure that the terrain provides, exposing realities that continue to resonate deeply today. Similarly, works by contemporary artists including Laura McPhee, Trevor Paglen, Wendy Red Star, and Bryan Schutmaat demonstrate photography’s critical role in documenting both the environmental promise and crises facing the American West today. Throughout the run of the exhibition, a wide range of programming relating to themes explored in Ansel Adams in Our Time will take place primarily online. From a discussion about Adams’s early career with Rebecca A. Senf, Ph.D., author of the new book Making A Photographer: The Early Work of Ansel Adams, to talks and webinars that address access, environmental concerns, and racism in the American landscape, audiences near to and far from Portland will be able to engage with Adams and his legacy during this critical time in our nation’s history. Organized by the Museum Fine Arts, Boston, and curated for Portland by Julia Dolan, Ph.D., The Minor White Curator of Photography.

AROUND THE GALLERIES DATES SUBJECT TO CHANGE
This year has seen extraordinary changes in the way our community experiences the Museum’s exhibitions and collections. After the closure in March due to the coronavirus pandemic, our staff shifted to expanding access to art experiences from home, including virtual exhibition walk-through videos, online versions of special exhibitions, and curators’ close looks at works in our collection (see page 32). After the Museum’s limited reopening in July, we were able to extend most special exhibitions into the fall and beyond thanks to goodwill from lenders and sponsors. But given very limited visitor capacity and the reclosure of the Museum in November to protect community health, our online offerings are an increasingly vital way for many in the community to experience our powerful exhibitions. Art and Race Matters: The Career of Robert Colescott, the first full retrospective of one of America’s most compelling and controversial artists, closed in the galleries on December 13 but can still be viewed online along with insights from the curators in video clips. And Volcano! Mount St. Helens in Art, examining artists’ responses to the awesome beauty and power of the volcano, is in the galleries through January 3, 2021, as well as in an absorbing online exhibition. In the coming months, measures to protect community health will surely continue to affect access to our museum. We will continue to create and expand art experiences for our community, whether in our galleries or online at portlandartmuseum.org.

SUMMER 2021 CONSTRUCTING REVOLUTION: Soviet Propaganda Posters from between the World Wars
APEX: SHARITA TOWNE JULY 17, 2021 – JANUARY 2022
In the Museum’s APEX gallery showcasing Northwest artists, a new exhibition will present the work of Sharita Towne. The transdisciplinary artist gained attention in 2019 for A Black Art Ecology of Portland, an initiative she launched to bring together community organizations in support of creating, reclaiming, and redefining spaces for Black art and audiences in Portland.
JUNE 26, 2021 – SEPTEMBER 26, 2021
Constructing Revolution explores the remarkable and wide-ranging body of propaganda posters as an artistic consequence of the 1917 Russian Revolution. This vibrant exhibition delves into a relatively short-lived era of unprecedented experimentation and utopian idealism, which produced some of the most iconic images in the history of graphic design. Bringing more than 80 Soviet-era posters from the private collection of Svetlana and Eric Silverman, Constructing Revolution showcases a number of key figures in the Soviet artistic avant-garde, among them Vladimir Mayakovsky, Aleksandr Rodchenko, and Gustav Klutsis. Organized by the Bowdoin College Museum of Art and curated for Portland by Mary Weaver Chapin, Ph.D., Curator of Prints and Drawings.

Exhibition curated by Mr. Christian Greco and organized by StArt. LEAD SPONSOR: Exhibition Series Sponsors; MAJOR SPONSOR: Clark Foundation; SUPPORTER: European and American Art Council.
PRIVATE LIVES: Home and Family in the Art of the Nabis, Paris, 1889-1900 OCTOBER 23, 2021 – JANUARY 23, 2022
Private Lives explores the beautiful, enigmatic, and paradoxical work of Pierre Bonnard, Édouard Vuillard, Maurice Denis, and Félix Vallotton, four members of the Nabi Brotherhood. The Nabis were a group of young artists who were inspired by Paul Gauguin and the growing current of Symbolism in literature and theater. They sought to create an art of suggestion and emotion. Private Lives takes a close look at their paintings, prints, and drawings of home, family, and children, or what Bonnard referred to as the small pleasures and “modest acts of life.” Loans from the National Gallery of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Musée d’Orsay, as well as from many additional public and private collections, will feature in this exhibition alongside the rich holdings of Nabi material in the collections of the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Portland Art Museum. Curated by Mary Weaver Chapin of the Portland Art Museum and Heather Lemonedes Brown of the Cleveland Museum of Art. LEAD SPONSOR: Exhibition Series Sponsors; MAJOR SPONSOR: The Robert Lehman Foundation; SPONSOR: FRAME; SUPPORTER: European and American Art Council.
MESH NOVEMBER 2021 – JANUARY 2022

Support for this exhibition is provided by the Native Arts and Cultures Foundation.

SPRING 2022 FRIDA KAHLO, DIEGO RIVERA, AND MEXICAN MODERNISM
SUMMER 2022
FEBRUARY 19, 2022 – JUNE 5, 2022
Internationally beloved artists Frida Kahlo (1907–1954) and Diego Rivera (1886–1957) played a crucial role in defining and establishing the Avant-Garde cultural movement in Mexico in the early 20th century. Their famously stormy marriage reflected their diverging artistic styles: While Rivera’s art projected itself outward, often in vast murals, and concerned itself with the construction of a national identity in postwar Mexico, Kahlo’s turned inward and represented Mexicanidad through an exploration of her personal identity. The exhibition will feature many of Kahlo’s most famous self-portraits and rarely seen oil paintings by Rivera, as well as works by other icons of Mexican modernism. Coordinated for Portland Art Museum by Sara Krajewski, The Robert and Mercedes Eichholz Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art.

DAKOTA MODERN: The Art of Oscar Howe JULY 2022 – JANUARY 2023
Co-organized by the Portland Art Museum and the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian, Dakota Modern: The Art of Oscar Howe will be the first major retrospective of the career of Oscar Howe (1915-1983), a groundbreaking artist known for his iconic paintings, informed by modernism yet deeply imbedded in Dakota culture and aesthetics. Howe inspired generations of artists with his revolutionary approach to painting and his outspoken defiance of institutional definitions of traditional Indian painting. Curated by Kathleen Ash-Milby, Curator of Native American Art at the Portland Art Museum. This exhibition is slated to open at the National Museum of the American Indian in November 2021.

NEWS & NOTEWORTHY
LOOKING BACK AND MOVING FORWARD Reflecting Back The coronavirus pandemic and racial justice reckoning have been the defining features of the past 16 months for the Portland community, the country, and the Museum and Northwest Film Center. The traditional reporting on finances and attendance figures that usually occurs at this time of year is replaced by a focus on priorities, and how the institution continues to secure relief funding, what recovery looks like, and reimaging a vital future. “This time of crisis has clarified this institution’s priorities,” said Museum Director and Chief Curator Brian Ferriso. “Those priorities are financial stability, equity and inclusion, and advancing our Connection Campaign.”
Despite challenges of recent months, the past year and beyond held many bright spots for the Museum and Portland community. Exhibitions both big and small attracted thousands of visitors, including Paris 1900, Hank Willis Thomas: All Things Being Equal…, Volcano! Mount St. Helens in Art, and Art & Race Matters: The Career of Robert Colescott. One exhibition in particular had a transformative impact on our Museum and Portland—Hank Willis Thomas: All Things Being Equal…, which

welcomed more than 100,000 visitors. After closing in Portland, the exhibition traveled to Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas, and the Cincinnati Art Museum. Programs and community partners play a central role in connecting visitors with art and with each other at the Museum and Film Center. The pandemic has changed how those look, but has not dampened the enthusiasm and resolve to re envision and create anew. Recent initiatives included community partnerships that helped shape the Hank Willis Thomas: All Things Being Equal... exhibition; collaborating with organizations and educators this summer to encourage children to express themselves through art journaling; and providing art kits to children throughout the Portland area. Additionally, the Film Center hosted a series of film and new media happy hours at a time when community connection was so important. Read more about community programs and projects for youth on page 30.
This winter and spring, visitors in person or online, and students in virtual classrooms can continue to count on meaningful content and conversation featuring art and issues that affect our lives. While most in-person group programs remain on hold, we have relaunched a number of popular offerings like the “Art & Conversation” and “In Dialogue” programs, now in virtual form.
Financial Position During the first eight months of the past fiscal year (July 1, 2019 – June 30, 2020), results were closely tracking on budget, with successful exhibition openings, programs, membership renewals and donations. When the Museum and Northwest Film Center closed on March 13 because of the coronavirus pandemic, an emergency fundraising plan generated more than $2 million to pay our staff and essential expenses, as we continued to struggle without

revenue from admissions or event rentals. While membership renewals slowed during the first closure, they have since rebounded with the reopening of the Museum in July and memberships continue to be a crucial source of support. The net impact on the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, was an estimated operating deficit of $431,000. With our continued closure through the summer, we made the difficult decision to formally lay off 51 full-time and 72 part-time employees starting July 1. However, thanks in part to emergency relief funding through the federal government’s Paycheck Protection Program and the extraordinary generosity of donors and members, the Museum and Northwest Film Center were able to reopen in July, retain a skeleton team, and successfully manage expenses through closure. For the current fiscal year (July 1, 2020 – June 31, 2021), the Museum and Film Center cut the budget by 30 percent and rearranged the exhibition schedule in response to the ongoing pandemic and general uncertainty. The institution was recently awarded $1.37 million from the State of Oregon’s Cultural Trust as part of their emergency relief funding for arts and culture organizations. This public grant is yet another lifeline as revenue from admissions and sales continues to be limited. Now more than ever, the Museum relies on the generosity of our donors and members to ensure we can continue to serve the community.

Moving Forward While the Museum manages closures and reopenings, exhibitions have been rescheduled and plans for future exhibitions are underway. In September, just two months after the first reopening, a new exhibition opened in the Japanese galleries, and in January Ansel Adams in Our Time will become our largest exhibition to open since the pandemic began. The pandemic has also offered an opportunity for the Northwest Film Center to reimagine what film and new media means in the future, and how they relate to the Museum. Many of the new offerings from the spring and summer, including streaming films, drive-in movies, virtual reality, and more are here to stay. Read more about the Northwest Film Center on page 22.
As we look ahead to a brighter future, the Museum is continuing toward realizing the vision of the Connection Campaign. The Connection Campaign is an expansion and renovation project that will transform the Museum with a priority on accessibility. The Campaign also includes a $25 million goal to support access, education, and operations. Despite the tumultuous year, the quiet phase of fundraising and planning for this project continues. “The Museum’s Main Building was built in 1930, during the height of the Great Depression, and we recognize that our actions now will transcend this moment,” said Ferriso. The Campaign continues in its quiet phase, and we look forward to sharing more about plans in the year to come.

EQUITY AND INCLUSION AT THE PORTLAND ART MUSEUM AND NORTHWEST FILM CENTER The call for racial justice is more visible now than any time in recent history. The Museum and Northwest Film Center have taken this call to heart, starting in 2016 when we formed our Equity and Inclusion Team. The work began with learning about and reflecting upon the deep roots of institutional racism in our country, state, and museums as a whole, as well as listening to colleagues, community partners, and artists of color. In January 2020 the Museum shared its Equity Statement—a document that was developed by the Equity Team, approved by the Board, and serves as our equity guide. “The statement holds the institution accountable as we strive toward ensuring that museum life reflects inclusion, equity and empowerment for people from diverse racial, cultural, and economic groups,” said Oscar Guerrero, a member of the Equity Team. “It is a living document that will evolve as we recognize that this work is about creating lasting and meaningful change.” Learn more about equity and inclusion at the Museum and Film Center at portlandartmuseum.org/equity.

Portland Art Museum Equity Statement Shared knowledge around art and film enriches our communities and helps all thrive and engage in a global society. Equity, diversity, and access to art, film, and education are critical to the ongoing work of the Portland Art Museum and Northwest Film Center. We recognize that at the heart of modern museum work is a tension between our mission to preserve the past, and a moral obligation to confront bias and inequities entangled with that inheritance. Museums have historically highlighted certain stories while marginalizing and oppressing others. Influential elements of political, cultural, and economic systems maintain injustice and inequity through the control of power and resources, resulting in limited access to and engagement with art and film. As one of the oldest art museums in the United States, we acknowledge our role in supporting these systems. As an institution and individuals, we commit to advancing racial equity and inclusion now and in the future as a foundation to address other disadvantages or forms of inequality. To fulfill our Mission, our commitment means including, serving, resourcing, validating, and centering our colleagues and community members of color on an institutional and individual level.
We will: • Partner with diverse communities through education by engaging multiple perspectives, embracing difficult conversations, and accepting feedback • Question our assumptions, interrupt the status quo, and challenge dominant culture thinking through how we collect and preserve art and film • Change policy and align programs to advance equity and break down barriers for the enrichment of present and future generations
We will hold ourselves accountable to this important work by: • Being transparent about the way we work and the way decisions are made • Continuing regular meetings of our Equity and Inclusion Team • Drafting and implementing an Equity Plan with approval and commitment from the Board • Implementing an Equity Lens as a tool for Museum-wide decision making in areas such as hiring, exhibition planning, and program development • Revising this Equity Statement on an ongoing basis We understand that equity and inclusion work is difficult, and we acknowledge that we will make mistakes as we learn and grow. However, we believe that beginning with a focus on race is critical to eliminating the inequities of other historically marginalized groups. We embrace the opportunity to keep learning and evolving and challenge everyone to do the same.

RE:IMAGINE ARTIST FUND RELIEF GRANTS In October, the Museum and Northwest Film Center announced recipients for the Re:Imagine Artist Fund, an expanded initiative to support visual, cinematic, and new media artists during the coronavirus pandemic. The Museum and Film Center provided relief grants of $2,000 for 25 artists demonstrating severe economic need and $5,000 sustainability grants to 20 artists who are pivoting their practices toward greater impact and innovation during this challenging time. Announced in July as an initiative both to provide immediate assistance to artists during the COVID-19 pandemic as well as to sustain their creative practices long-term, the Re:Imagine Artist Fund is providing emergency
relief grants and longer-term sustainability grants, as well as increasing programming stipends to artists from across Oregon and Clark County, Washington. The Artist Fund initially planned to award $100,000, but thanks to generous contributions from supporters, the Museum was able to more than double the funding to over $200,000 for the Re:Imagine Fund. “At this critical moment, it is crucial to the health of our arts ecosystem to sustain artists, and the Portland Art Museum and Northwest Film Center are pleased to be able to be a leader in these important relief efforts,” said Portland Art Museum Director Brian Ferriso. “Art and creativity are fundamental to our community’s recovery from this pandemic, and we recognize our responsibility.” The first phase of the artist relief initiative, the Re:Fresh Fund, distributed $50,000 in relief to
address artists’ immediate economic needs. The Museum and Film Center selected 25 visual, cinematic, and new media artists as recipients of unrestricted grants of $2,000 as emergency COVID-19 relief funding to those whose livelihoods have been severely impacted by the novel coronavirus pandemic. Relief funds were distributed in late August, and the identities of recipients are kept anonymous to preserve their privacy. The second phase, Re:Imagine Fund, focuses on supporting visual, cinematic, and new media artists as they reimagine their practices and pivot toward the post–COVID-19 future. The Artist Fund panel awarded 20 artists with grants of $5,000, evaluating applications for both innovative potential and future impact. The review panel sought out applicants who showed resilience and creative exploration in the face of a public health crisis, racial justice unrest, and great community need. “I’m really honored and grateful to be one of the recipients of the Re:Imagine Sustainability grant,” said Portland filmmaker Dawn Jones Redstone in a video message for the Museum and Film Center’s virtual members meeting on October 7. Redstone, who has had several short films featured in the Northwest Film Center’s Portland International Film Festival, continued, “I was planning on making a feature film this year, and as you know, it’s not the best year to embark on something like that. It’s hard enough to make a feature, and it’s particularly hard to do it in the middle of a pandemic and racial

with attention given to the Museum and Film Center’s equity statement: commitment to equity means including, serving, resourcing, validating, and centering our BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and neurodiverse communities and colleagues, as well as community members with disabilities. Submissions to the grant program reached nearly 40% of individuals who identified as such, many with intersectional identities. For the Re:Fresh relief funds, 23 of the 25 recipients self-identify as BIPOC, LGBTQ+ or as living with a disability, many with intersectional identities. For the Re:Imagine sustainability grants, 18 of the 20 self-identify as BIPOC, LGBTQ+ or as living with a disability, and many of these folks have intersectional identities. justice reckoning. … I’m grateful to get to use the money to continue to develop and plan for 2021, and use art as I always do, which is to help me make sense of the world.” Anthony Hudson, another sustainability grant recipient, is a Portland multidisciplinary artist who has frequently performed as the drag clown Carla Rossi—before the pandemic forced performance venues across the country to close indefinitely. “My entire industry has died,” Hudson said in another video message during the annual meeting. “I make visual art and theater and interdisciplinary performance, and there’s no way to share it with audiences anymore except online, and I wasn’t equipped to be able to do that. But now, thanks to this grant, I’m going to be able to actually start to be able to create scripts and videos and digital performances that are actually made for the screen, rather than just using Zoom because we have it. So this really means a lot to me.”
Major funding for the Re:Imagine Artist Fund is made possible by the Museum’s Art Gym endowment, a restricted endowment established with support from the Robert and Mercedes Eichholz Foundation, and grants from Tim and Mary Boyle, The Collins Foundation, and longtime artist advocate Sarah Miller Meigs. While much of the Museum’s endowment is restricted and cannot be used to support staff and general operations, the Art Gym endowment is specifically for regional artists. The PAM/NWFC Artist Fund team was joined by six panelists to ensure a diversity of perspectives were brought to the review of both grants. The panel includes artists Sky Hopinka, V Maldonado, and Melanie Stevens, as well as writer Jon Raymond, producer Anish Savjani, and writer and curator Ashley Stull Meyers. The Artist Fund initiative was developed
For the third phase of the initiative, Re:Imagining Our Work, we will focus on artists who are currently less represented in the collection and in programs, specifically Black artists and filmmakers, and those who identify as women and LGBTQIA+. This phase focuses on artist-driven programs, services, and support, which have been integral to Museum and Film Center work for decades. Each year, the Museum allocates on average $100,000 to pay artists stipends for collaborating with PAM/ NWFC, and this program ensures our capacity to continue providing direct support to artists and recognize their role as the primary creators of a reimagined cultural sphere in Portland and beyond. Re:Imagining Our Work will include a new visiting artists program, expanded commitment to our community partners through residencies, a reimagined artist talks series, guest-curated screenings and exhibitions, and other programmatic collaborations that will go beyond the walls of the Museum and Film Center.

MUSEUM WELCOMES ARTISTS CARRIE MAE WEEMS AND MARIE WATT AMONG NEW SLATE OF TRUSTEES “I am so honored and excited that Carrie Mae Weems and Marie Watt accepted our invitation to help lead our institution at this crucial time,” said Brian Ferriso, Director and Chief Curator. “Our communities need the arts more than ever, and it is vital to have the wisdom of these consequential artists who have both contributed so much and in so many ways to our lives.” Watt and Weems are among nine new or returning trustees joining the Museum’s 70-member Board of Trustees. The role of the Board of Trustees is to lead in the governance of the institution, including oversight of the Museum’s budget, finances, assets, and investments; hiring and evaluating the performance of the Executive Director; and serving on subcommittees overseeing areas such as the Museum’s collections, development, equity and inclusion, learning programs, and community partnerships. “I am so thrilled about the incoming group of trustees,” said Board Chair Fred Jubitz. “My family has been closely involved with the Museum for nearly three decades, and seeing the enthusiasm and range of artists, community leaders, and professionals from many different sectors is a testament to the work that Museum and Northwest Film Center are doing in this city.” Marie Watt is an American artist and citizen of the Seneca Nation with German-Scots ancestry. Her contemporary work draws from history, biography, Iroquois protofeminism, and Indigenous teachings. Watt currently serves on the executive board for VoCA (Voices in
20 PORTLAND ART MUSEUM
Contemporary Art) and on the Native Advisory Board for the Portland Art Museum. Carrie Mae Weems was born in Portland and now lives and works in Syracuse, N.Y. Weems is one of the most influential contemporary American artists living today. Her complex body of work investigates race, family relationships, cultural identity, sexism, class, political systems, and the consequences of power. The Portland Art Museum has presented two retrospectives of her art, Carrie Mae Weems in 1994 and Carrie Mae Weems: Three Decades of Photography and Video in 2013. In addition to Watt and Weems, the Portland Art Museum’s new trustees include Catherine Blanksby, an investor and connector within Portland’s startup community, and an ardent supporter of film and visual arts; Kirk L. Dobbins, Vice President and Regional Counsel for Kaiser Foundation Hospitals/Health Plan, and an avid traveler and collector of art; Phillip T. Hillaire, a citizen of the Lummi Nation, community volunteer liaison to tribal artists, and member of the Museum’s Native Advisory Board; Brue McHayle, a Senior Product Director for Nike’s Jordan Brand who has been inspired by art throughout his 30-year career in the apparel, entertainment, and music industry;
Rolando Pozos, a Managing Director at Bank of America Securities, who is passionate about the arts and education, and founded an organization aiding homeless children in Mexico; Greg Tibbles, a Portland native who has been an increasingly committed Museum supporter since his retirement in 2013 after a career in the energy industry; and Cheryl Tonkin, a prominent community volunteer leader and longtime Museum supporter who, as its past Public Relations and Marketing Director, helped bring the community to the Museum. New trustee Carrie Mae Weems spoke about the vital importance of art in her own video message during the virtual annual meeting. “I’m in love with art,” she said. “I don’t know what I would do without it; it’s changed every facet of my life and my time here on this planet. It’s shaped how I see and how I feel … I can’t imagine a world without it. And so we need to support art, artists and the cultural institutions that bring it to us. We need to support art like our very lives depend on it—because frankly, it does.” The Portland Art Museum’s full Board of Trustees roster can be found at portlandartmuseum.org/ board-of-trustees.

A THANK YOU TO OUR MEMBERS AND DONORS Like so many nonprofit institutions in our community and worldwide, the Portland Art Museum and Northwest Film Center have faced a dramatic drop in revenue from lost admissions, events, and retail sales as a result of the COVID-19 crisis and our temporary closures. During these difficult and unpredictable times, it is the generous support of our members and donors that keeps us afloat. We have been heartened by the response from those of you who have made donations, joined as new members, or renewed your memberships as we continue to weather these challenging times together. Over the past six months, we’ve received over 1,000 individual donations and over 4,700 new or renewed members. We rely on the funding from these donations and memberships to cover over half of our operating expenses, including staffing, programming, and exhibitions, the upkeep and maintenance of our collections, and much more. Your support is also an investment in the local ecosystem that relies upon us, including artists, schools, and community organizations statewide. To our generous members and donors, thank you. Without you, we wouldn’t be able to present powerful exhibitions like Art and Race Matters, showcase the works of incredible local artists like Isaka Shamsud-Din, or develop innovative opportunities to experience film and new media, as with the Drive-In at Zidell Yards. We are truly grateful for your dedication as passionate advocates of the Museum and the important work that we do in our community. Because of you, we are able to serve as a source of exploration and connection through art in Portland, and provide engaging new digital content to stay connected with art and film from the comfort of home. Thank you for investing in the Museum’s future, and for your show of support for the restorative power of art.

NORTHWEST FILM CENTER
NEW WAYS OF SEEING: NORTHWEST FILM CENTER The Northwest Film Center is reimagining what could be—both because of the changes to our world and in spite of them. Reimagining cinematic storytelling, how stories are told, by whom and for whom. Rather than waiting for “normal” to return, the Film Center is reimagining a future filled with creative synergy, sustainability, and surprise.
What does that future look like? Innovative venues. With the Whitsell Auditorium closed for the immediate future, the Film Center presented a 26-night Cinema Unbound Drive-In with partners at Zidell Yards during the summer and early fall. Imagine a new storytelling reality. The Film Center and Museum became the sole U.S. partner of the Venice Biennale’s VR Expanded 2020 program in September, which meant that Portland audiences were the first in the world to experience cutting-edge virtual reality work from artists all over the world. Supporting community. Along with the Museum, the Re:Imagine Artist Fund provided more than $100,000 in grants for makers in need—including film and new media artists.

Greater access to virtual programming. Thanks to strengthened relationships with distributors and filmmakers, the Film Center is offering more diverse films, series, and programs from more makers through curated content.
New audiences. Film Center events are introducing new people to the Film Center, and that’s not only exciting, it’s expansive— approximately 80 percent of attendees to the Drive-In and 40 percent of 2020 PIFF attendees were new.
New connections. The pandemic closures inspired the Film Center to host 30 virtual happy hour discussions with national, international, and regional arts leaders. By staying connected with media makers, funders, board members, and industry stalwarts, the Museum and Film Center are part of the conversations about the future of film and visual storytelling.
Despite theater closures and crowd restrictions during the pandemic, the Film Center has been doing its best to find a new way of seeing what is possible and look forward to seeing what’s possible. Portland, Oregon, the Northwest, and the nation are changing. The Museum and Film Center intend to be of that change. Join us!
WHAT’S NEXT Portland International Film Festival 2021 MARCH 5–14, 2021
A creative, multimedia feast, Portland International Film Festival (PIFF) 2021 spotlights cinema unbound artists both around the corner and across the globe—embracing the future of storytelling in all its forms. Showcasing films, series, audio stories, and new media, PIFF elevates the unique voices of diverse artists from across the globe who are changing by whom, for whom, and how cinematic stories are told. Taking place March 5-14, 2021—both virtually and at outdoor, alternative venues throughout the city—this year’s PIFF will feature guest programmers including internationally renowned independent producer Shrihari Sathe (It Felt Like Love, Slow Machine), industry maverick Gina Duncan (Producing Director of the Sundance Film Festival), and multimedia storyteller and artist Jane Schoenbrun (The Eyeslicer), alongside Ben Popp (NWFC Director of Artist Services) and Amy Dotson (NWFC Director and PAM’s Curator of Film & New Media).

Co:Laboratory Welcome to Northwest Film Center without walls—the Co:Laboratory! Expansive in genre, mediums, and ideas, the Film Center’s new Co:Laboratory is a grand experiment. Offering virtual (and in person when possible) connection to people, ideas, and innovations in the media arts that help artists and art lovers sustain their curiosity and what is creatively possible, the Co:Laboratory exists to uniquely inspire new projects, new skills, and new ways of seeing. In the spirit of all good creative endeavors, programming will be designed to be an ever-evolving, communitydriven, ongoing work-in-progress.
From the beginning, the expansive talks, workshops and offerings will require from its participants imagination, innovation, and openmindedness—and above all, a willingness to try new things a bit differently. Ranging from open and free opportunities to programming directed at professionals at all levels hoping to expand their personal projects and possibilities, many of the programs will be team-taught or presented, allowing for a multiplicity of points of view and approaches on any one topic. The Film Center will be learning and listening in the coming months, working with an Advisory Board and both the local and global community
to help shape a future where for whom, by whom, and how cinematic stories are told is more open and inclusive. Together, we will test, experiment, study, and practice. We will question things. We will take risks and create what’s next. So whether you’re a lover of a good story well told, a working media artist in the Northwest (or beyond!) or someone working to change the status quo, we can’t wait to have you with us.

STAYING CONNECTED WITH COMMUNITY BY THE LEARNING AND COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS TEAM, BECKY EMMERT, JALEESA JOHNSTON, HANA LAYSON, AND STEPHANIE PARRISH
During the months that the Museum and Northwest Film Center were closed due to COVID-19 restrictions, we brought art into the homes and screens of people not only here in Portland, but throughout the world. We developed a range of resources for students and educators as well as virtual programs featuring artists, curators, and special guests over these past nine months while we had to be physically apart, creating strong connections when they were needed more than ever.
30 PORTLAND ART MUSEUM
Art Online When the Museum’s physical doors closed, a new virtual door opened: the curatorial, learning, and web teams worked to bring exhibitions online in new and creative ways. Labels and wall panels came into focus, new content including guest commentary was added, and details and new perspectives in the artworks came to life. Currently there are three online exhibitions available, with plans for more as the ability to physically access art remains limited for some visitors. Popular programs also found new homes in the online space. A virtual program with the Mount St. Helens Institute marked the 40th anniversary of the 1980 eruption of the mountain, and brought the exhibition Volcano! Mount St. Helens in Art to life for hundreds of participants. Additionally, the monthly Art and Conversation program returned
via Zoom, and In Dialogue returned in an intimate online format with Art and Race Matters. The Museum’s social media channels are more active than ever with timely, weekly art moments offered by curators, and posts by community partners. And the Film Center rose to the virtual occasion with streaming films and New Ways of Seeing recommendations. Art Unbound, the Museum and Film Center’s podcast also continues to offer new insight into various topics in the art and Museum world thanks to funding from FRAME (French American Museum Exchange). The shift to digital and virtual content has also created an opportunity to increase our commitment to accessibility through closed captioning and visual descriptions across our platforms.
have regularly been working in the Museum’s galleries conducting artist and community interviews around art and social justice. We look forward to continuing our work together through future live broadcasting events and podcasting.
Safe In-Person Offerings
Creative Connection Community partnerships and learning programs continue to be vital to our work. Over the summer, the Museum collaborated with Portland Public Schools and the organization Create More, Fear Less on the Journal On! project to encourage people of all ages to process and reflect on their experiences of these times we are living in through the creative practice of journaling. JournalOn.org, offers weekly prompts and inspiring videos by artists, as well as an online gallery where participants can contribute to a shared story of these extraordinary times. All resources are available in both Spanish and English and are now available as curriculum for the school year.

Thanks to the Miller Family Foundation, the Museum was able to provide 2,500 Art Kits to children and teens over the summer and fall, working with Portland Parks & Recreation, SUN programs, Centro Cultural, and others.
Write Around PAM, an ongoing collaboration with longtime partner Write Around Portland, provides creative writing prompts every Sunday, inspired by works in the permanent collection. And the Film Center has offered industry meetups since the pandemic first shuttered theaters and film production. Continuing the partnership with Create More, Fear Less, students and youth can now access five Create More Resilience workshop videos designed to build emotional resilience through creative practices. Featuring artists from many backgrounds and disciplines, each video leads TOP: The Numberz members DJ Ambush and Kan Jones prepping for the Listening Party for Community Family Free Day in partnership with All Things Being Equal...; Patricia Vázquez collaborating with Create More Fear Less; Journal On! submission: Tatum, 5, Zoom Kindergarten; Cinema Unbound Drive-In at Zidell Yards.
While most programs and popular events have moved online or been canceled, the Museum and Film Center have been able to provide safe in-person programs, including the Cinema Unbound Drive-In at Zidell Yards, and the
Portland International Film Festival 2.0 at the Drive-In. Visitors were also able to experience world-class virtual reality at the Venice VR Expanded program in September. And despite the challenges of the pandemic, a reimagined outside version of the Día de Muertos community event was a great success. This winter, visitors in person or online, and students in virtual classrooms can continue to count on meaningful content and conversation featuring art and issues that affect our lives.
We are also pleased to continue our partnership with The Numberz FM radio station thanks to the support of a Regional Arts and Culture Council Equity Investments Grant. In September, the partnership relaunched with an on-site “radio residency.” The Numberz
