Over the last 30 years, Multnomah County and the City of Portland have built an impressive collection of artworks that are administered and managed by the Regional Art & Culture Council (RACC). More than 1,000 pieces, representing hundreds of Northwest artists, are regularly rotated throughout publicly accessible spaces in County and City buildings. This highly regarded collection strives to reflect a diversity of populations, artistic disciplines and points of view. RACC periodically purchases new work for this collection and is currently seeking submissions from professional artists living in Oregon who are not already represented in the Portable Works Collection.
The artwork (painting, drawing, photographs, prints and wall mounted sculpture of limited depth are eligible), will be selected by an independent panel of artists, curators and Multnomah County representatives.
