The Price of the Ticket: 2026 Oregon Contemporary Artists’ Biennial
Oregon Contemporary, Portland, OR - To Jul 5
A survey of works by visual and performing artists who are defining and advancing Oregon’s contemporary art landscape, The Price of the Ticket “explores themes of place, power, and promise, especially as they relate to our complex relationships with the land, our histories, and our nations.” A timely response to America’s 250th, when debates about citizenship, rights and legal protection are top of mind for many artists. Look for Todd McGrain’s bronze bust of York, the only Black man in the Corps of Discovery. Performance events on First Saturdays, 5–8 pm. oregoncontemporary.org
