Description
Founded in 1892, the Portland Art Museum (PAM) in Portland, Oregon is the only major art museum between Seattle and San Francisco, showcasing the work of artists from across the Pacific Northwest and the globe. A vital cultural destination and educational resource serving audiences who live, work, and visit the region, PAM is internationally recognized for its special exhibitions and encyclopedic collection. Connecting audiences through the arts and engaging with the stories and ideas shaping our present day, the Museum’s diverse programming reflects the passions, values, and creativity of its community. Additionally, the Museum’s film and new media center, PAM CUT // Center for an Untold Tomorrow opened The Tomorrow Theater on Portland’s Eastside in 2023, creating a new home for cinematic storytelling and extending PAM’s reach to another part of the city.
