Animals have always been important to artists. They are the subject of our first masterpieces. The walls of Lascaux, Chauvet and Altamira run wild with oxen, horses and lions. These creatures that we share the planet with have a way of capturing our imaginations, and our hearts. Not surprisingly, a number of artists at the RSG are just as enamored with animals as their Upper Paleolithic ancestors.

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.
