Did you know that Mark Rothko moved to Portland in 1913, and as a young boy, sold newspapers on the same block that today is home to the Portland Arts Collective?

"An exploration of Rothko concomitant visual and philosophical exigencies among artists who have called Portland home. It is not a tribute show or any claim of hereditament, just expect surprises that reveal sonorities and important dissonances with Portland’s most culturally pertinacious son."

PAM is free the next 4 days. What an incredibly significant and meaningful day with the public opening of the Rothko Pavilion expansion @portlandartmuseum.bsky.social museum. As providence would have it I was standing right next to Kate and Christopher Rothko and got to share a few meaningful words.
