Throughout February, the Portland Art Museum celebrates Black history, creativity, and cultural leadership through a dynamic series of films, performances, lectures, conversations, and community-centered programs, presented in partnership with local and national collaborators.

Celebrate Portland's Black history with a free city-wide scavenger hunt. Cash prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers!

Soul Conversation is a panel discussion featuring Albina's music legends. Musicians played a vital role in Albina's historic Black community and their abundance is an important marker of the community's enduring presence. This unique gathering of elders sheds light on Albina's cultural heritage, with a nod to the future of Black Portland. Archival photography from the Albina Community Archive will be presented in conjunction with the conversation.
