The Portland Museum of Art invites art enthusiasts to embark on a profound journey into the heart of creativity with the unveiling of its much-anticipated exhibition, + collection. From February 2 through April 28, 2024, this exhibition presents an exceptional selection of over 50 artworks that have recently become a part of the museum’s esteemed collection.
With more than 19,000 artworks under its roof, the Portland Museum of Art continues to weave diverse narratives through its acquisitions. The + collection exhibition not only showcases the museum’s latest treasures but also peels back the layers of the meticulous process involved in building, preserving, and nurturing a museum collection. These artworks, acquired through bequests, gifts, and purchases, represent the museum’s dedication to inclusivity in art stewardship.
“Each artwork in our collection has a story to tell,” explains [Curator’s Name], Curator of the Portland Museum of Art. “+ collection is a testament to our commitment to enriching these narratives and expanding the horizons of our visitors.”
The exhibition sheds light on the intricate relationship between artworks and museums, sparking profound conversations about the responsibilities of public and private art institutions globally. Recent significant donations, including works from the Alex Katz Foundation and Judy Glickman Lauder’s extraordinary gift of photographs, have enhanced the museum’s galleries, drawing global attention to artists like Berenice Abbott, Martha Diamond, Richard Avedon, and many others.
The Portland Museum of Art’s dedication to growth is further underscored by its ambitious project, The PMA Blueprint: Building a Landmark for the Future. This $100M campus expansion and unification endeavor, designed by LEVER Architecture, will significantly enlarge the museum’s campus, marking a pioneering era in the museum’s history.
Don’t miss the opportunity to engage with this captivating dialogue between art, museums, and their communities. Join us at the Portland Museum of Art from February 2 to April 28, 2024, and experience the transformative power of art.
