Join the PMA throughout the year for intimate gatherings in the galleries to discuss works of art with new friends, nationally-recognized art historians, authors, filmmakers presenting their latest work in the Museum's auditorium, and internationally-recognized artists visiting Portland for a dialogue about the state of their art. Lectures & Talks at the Museum offer a great way to learn about art and the Museum's collection.
