Art Bridges Initiative to Loan ArtWorks Across The USA
The Portland Museum of Art announced its participation in the Art Bridges Collection Loan Partnership, an innovative art lending model that allows artworks from a diverse group of museums to travel the country. Art Bridges supports museums around the country to share works from their collections with the public, championing art accessibility and diversity.
In alignment with the PMA’s ongoing Art for All mission, the collection will include artworks from American artists of diverse backgrounds. The loans will be displayed throughout the museum’s permanent collection, deepening the conversation throughout the galleries around the complex history of American art.
Art Bridges is the vision of philanthropist and arts patron Alice Walton. The mission of Art Bridges is to expand access to American art in all regions across the United States. Since 2017, Art Bridges has been creating and supporting programs that bring outstanding works of American art out of storage and into communities. Art Bridges partners with a growing network of over 190 museums of all sizes and locations to provide financial and strategic support for exhibition development, loans from the Art Bridges collection, and programs designed to educate, inspire, and deepen engagement with local audiences. The Art Bridges Collection represents an expanding vision of American art from the 19th century to present day and encompasses multiple media and voices.
