Wednesday might be the least romantic day of the week, but gosh darn it, Valentines Day only happens once a year. Here’s hoping that you’re surprised with flowers, candy, and all of the other tropes associated with this holiday. And if not, well you’re still getting a gift from the RSG; not a box of assorted chocolates, but a blog of assorted romance-themed art. Happy Valentines Day!

From the Refrigerator to Fine Art: Interview with RSG Artist Donna Graham »

The Rental Sales Gallery, 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.
