One of the more enjoyable aspects of volunteering at the RSG is the inspiration the art fills me with.  I enjoy putting myself in the scene or making up stories about pieces.  Sometimes the story is hazy. Incomplete.  The story escapes my grasp to give it form.  While at other times chapters unfold in my mind.  If I am lucky a whole story explodes forth and consumes my thoughts.  The coolest thing however happens (from time-to-time) when I reexamine a piece and its story changes.   What stories will the pieces whisper to you?  Stop by the RSG to discover them.

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.
