Mission
Engage and create community through art.
Vision
Ignite a passion for art in every life.
Alberta Street Gallery is a vibrant, professional artist collective featuring high-quality work across various mediums—paintings, sculpture, ceramics, metalwork, photography, fiber, glass, jewelry. Made by a roster of 30 artists, our work is creative, contemporary and original. The art is approachable and easy to buy in our cooperative gallery where you will always interact with one of our artists.
History
The gallery was born in 2004 when a number of Saturday Market artists wanted to showcase their work for more than one day a week. Hence, the 6 Days Gallery was born on Alberta Street, open six days a week and with longer hours than the Market. The roster of artists changed over time as did the name, eventually becoming the Alberta Street Gallery. Long a mainstay of the district, the move up the street in the fall of 2018 to a much larger and better location at 1829 NE Alberta Street enabled the gallery to expand the art on display, with 30 participating artists. A long-held vision to become more than a gallery but an actual gathering point for the community, both artists and art lovers, is now a reality.
Land Acknowledgement
We are an integral part of the art scene in the Historic Alberta Arts District and greater Portland. We recognize that our gallery space exists as a result of the gentrification and the displacement of numerous residents and neighbors who called Alberta their home, and we seek to honor that history by creating a diverse, inclusive safe space for all people and continue to engage in community outreach.
