Rain is an ally of the creative; it encourages you to stay inside and get to work. But it is also the bringer of color. Electric greens are returning to stark, bare branches, and different flowers are beginning to burst all over the city. Some people complain about grey skies, but I argue that it’s the perfect backdrop for the symphony of color that the rain brings.

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.
