SOCIAL FORMS: ART AS GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP

OPENING WEEKEND AUG 24-27, 2023

Mark your calendars now! Social Forms considers how art interacts with global power shifts in contemporary society, including how art is at the vanguard of societal redefinition and shifts towards more participatory culture. Featuring 15+ exhibitions in venues across Portland, Converge 45 promises an exciting opening weekend. Exhibitions run through mid-October; some on view into December. More details to come in the new year.

Whether you are working with your own travel coordinator or prefer for someone to coordinate your visit locally, we are happy to provide ideas for visiting private collections, studios, galleries and other points of interest through our Host Committee. Reach out to margaret burke, Executive Director, at margaret@converge45.org for more information.
