Oregon Art Center is proud to celebrate 100 years of Portland's visual arts community with our 2026 Centennial Exhibition. This exhibition brings together artists whose work spans a remarkable range of media, perspectives, and voices — united by their connection to OAC and to the Portland region.

Below you'll find statements from our participating artists in their own words. We invite you to read, linger, and let their stories deepen your experience of the work on view.

The Centennial Exhibition is on view at Oregon Art Center, 2185 SW Park Place, Portland, OR 97205. Gallery hours: Monday–Friday, 10am–4pm.
