Though Rental Sales Gallery remains closed to the general public, in accordance with Gov. Kate Brown’s Community Health Order, we are still available to do business by appointment, telephone and email. So, if you have a piece of art already on rental from us, or are interested in newly buying or renting works, then we will be able to assist you. Contact us either by email or on 503-224-0674 to set up an appointment.

On top of this, our member artists have continued to provide us with beautiful new pieces of art, which are excited to showcase in this blog for you. We have a variety of new works available and this is just a taste of what we have recently received and made available for rental or purchase. We hope that you enjoy this taster of the superb collection that we have here. To view these, and other pieces, go to the Artists page of our website.

We look forward to being able to assist you in person in the future. Until then, thank you for your continuing support of the Gallery and the artists of Oregon and Washington States. We will see you again soon!
