Upcoming Shows

Exhibits are currently being scheduled for the remainder of 2023 and into 2024. We are thrilled to announce that our selection committee this year is being led by Steph Littlebird and Daren Todd, two talented artists and curators with strong connections to the area.

Daren Todd is a Portland, Oregon based muralist, illustrator and designer. He is also the owner of Art Larger Than Me, a gallery and creative studio serving clients from residential real estate to the commercial film industry. Daren’s work currently focuses on abstract expressionism and graphic portraiture, and the juxtaposition of both styles into cohesive paintings and designs.

Steph Littlebird is an artist, curator, writer, and a member of Oregon’s Grand Ronde Confederated Tribes. She received national recognition as curator of This IS Kalapuyan Land (2020), an exhibition at the Five Oaks Museum in Portland which was featured by Art News and PBS NewsHour. Her visual work engages issues related to contemporary Indigenous identities, marginalized histories, and responsible land stewardship.
