About the Gallery
Alberta Street Gallery is a collective of vibrant, inclusive, professional artists from the Portland/Vancouver area, featuring high-quality work in a variety of disciplines, including painting, sculpture, ceramics, metalwork, photography, wood, paper, fiber, glass and jewelry. Alberta Street Gallery is an integral part of the arts scene in the Historic Alberta Arts District and the greater Portland area.
We offer a selection of beautiful and interesting arts and crafts from our diverse collective of artists. Our vision is to become more than a gallery: an actual gathering point for the community, for both artists and art lovers. The gallery is open daily and features regular art shows, including "Last Thursday," when Alberta Street comes alive to show its unique character and talent.
At Alberta Street Gallery, we recognize that our gallery space exists as a result of the gentrification of a historically minority neighborhood. We seek to honor that diversity by creating a safe, inclusive space for all people, and continuing to engage in community outreach throughout the district. The gallery seeks to foster community through open-call exhibitions featuring members of the community.
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.
