Mission: To enrich the region’s art community and connect it to the contemporary art world. A dynamic community of Portland arts organizations, galleries, artists, art professionals, and community business partners has joined together to realize the vision of Converge 45, a nonprofit organization that provides a curatorial platform for the visual arts in Portland and the surrounding region. Through annual programming led by a Guest Artistic Director in collaboration with cultural partners, Converge 45 engages with national and international conversations on contemporary art.
