Gather:Make:Shelter

Gather:Make:Shelter (GMS) hosts rotating exhibitions featuring artists experiencing houselessness and poverty and special collaborations with Portland creatives. Examples include mixed media found object sculptures, bold large-scale paintings, intricate drawings, ceramic collaborations and an artwork exchange between over 60 local artists and villagers housed in alternative shelters that GMS helped start during the pandemic. GMS artists have executed public art projects and will be highlighted at the Pride Festival this June! Check our website for the latest information, follow us @gathermakeshelter. Gather:Make:Shelter is a Portland, OR non-profit that works with people experiencing houselessness and poverty through collaborative, skill-building projects in creative fields. We create relationships that bring houseless and housed people together to empower each other.
