Fifteen Portland collage artists bear witness to cultural upheaval, dreaming into reassembly. These analog paper artists take what remains and imagine what’s next. ✂️
Curated by Kellette Elliott and Kirk Read.
Artists: Kyle Anderson, Cathy Aster, Kellette Elliott, Templeton Elliott, Torea Frey, MJ Connors Davison, Pamela Kieffer, Clive Knights, Angela Morrow, Jane Pellicciotto, Katie Price, Kirk Read, Kevin Sampsell, Cherie Savoie Tintary, Justin Tuttle.
Paper collage has a long history of being an accessible tool of agitprop, observation and self-soothing. The form is enjoying a worldwide renaissance thanks to a hunger for expression rooted in physical materials and face to face interactions. These Portland artists push the boundaries of the form as they address the chaos of the moment in a variety of ways.

Panel discussion: January 17, 2026 from 12-1 pm related to Neural-Lithic Harvests exhibition by Hannah Newman
📍North View Gallery, 12000 SW 49th, Portland, Oregon
🗓️ ✨Extended January 27, 2026
⏳ Hours: Mon - Fri 8- 4 pm, Saturday 1/17 from 12-4pm
🆓 to the public
Please join artist Hannah Newman, artist Myra Lilith Day, poet Megan Savage, philosopher Matt Stockton, and humanities professor Jo McLendon, for a wide-ranging conversation about the ways that artists and thinkers can engage with, utilize, and challenge the AI systems that have become unavoidable in recent years.
How are creatives and thinkers responding to this new reality with its massive impact on the environment, mental health, higher education and the arts? What kinds of “intelligence” do AI models reflect—and what kinds do they exclude? Whose labor, datasets, and values are embedded in the AI tools we use? How can artists and thinkers critically engage with AI without unintentionally reinforcing harmful systems? What are our potential paths forward?
This panel discussion is organized in conjunction with the exhibition Hannah Newman | Neural-Lithic Harvests, which is extended until January 27. This exhibition was made possible by generous support from the @regionalarts .

Color Coded A Juried Exhibition
🗓️January 8 – 31, 2026
✨Meet and Greet with the exhibiting artists on Saturday, January 18, 11 am – noon
Color is central to artistic expression, yet its possibilities are endless. In Color Coded, we asked artists to consider how color operates as a code, one that viewers can unlock and respond to in their own way. Whether symbolic, emotional, structural, or conceptual, color can transform perception and meaning in unexpected ways.
This juried exhibition showcases works that thoughtfully engage with color as a primary element. A Juror’s Award will be presented to the artwork that demonstrates both exceptional quality and a strong connection to the theme.

Deer Diary by Lauren Grabelle
📍 Blue Sky Gallery, 122 NW 8th Ave., Portland
🗓️ Jan 8 - 31, 2026
⏳ Hours: Wed-Sat, 12-5 p.m.
🆓 to the public
Lauren Grabelle’s Deer Diary explores where fine art, documentary practice, and wildlife photography meet in the Montana landscape. She uses a trail camera as a portal for spiritual self-portraiture, letting deer become collaborators through their movements. Positioned along game trails and bent fence lines, the camera captures these animals as they navigate their terrain, echoing narratives found in art, mythology, religion, and literature since Paleolithic times.

🆓 to the public
Ryan Bubnis asked thirteen artists to consider: What does it mean to be an artist and image-maker in a time of economic uncertainty, violence, and political chaos? Thirteen Portland-based painters respond in their own visual language, turning inward through the medium of painting to explore the concept of self. The lineup is exceptional, and the work is deeply introspective and captivating.

Neural-Lithic Harvests exhibition by Hannah Newman
📍North View Gallery, 12000 SW 49th, Portland, Oregon
🗓️ ✨Extended January 28, 2026
⏳ Hours: Mon - Fri 8- 4 pm, some Saturdays 12-4 pm
🆓 to the public
In a world where machines become more like humans, and humans become more like machines, what does it mean to be alive? From self-help and romantic chatbots, content generation, productivity boosters, population surveillance and more, artificial intelligence has entangled itself in every corner of life. While AI offers new pathways into the future, it also poses risks to human agency, authorship, privacy, and equity, and accelerates climate change through its growing energy demands.
In Neural-Lithic Harvests, the evolving relationship between humans, nature, and artificial intelligence takes root in a shifting terrain of sculpture, paintings, poetry, and sound. Drawing on metaphors from ecology and agriculture, the exhibition asks: what fruit will we harvest from our relationship with AI and just who is the farmer, and who is being farmed?
Throughout the exhibition, AI-generated imagery and hand-built sculptures co-exist, probing the tension between human agency and machine creation. Anchoring the exhibition, a soundscape composed from human-written texts loops through the space, narrated by an AI voice that lends its own inflections to the words. Sculptures and paintings incorporate silicon rocks, wires, circuit boards, and surveillance cameras intermingled with organic materials, blurring the boundary between digital and natural, living and non-living, while grounding the work in the material realities of connected technologies.

This-Worldly by Sharon Servilio
📍 MHCC Visual Arts Gallery, 26000 SE Stark, Gresham, OR 97030
🗓️ January 5 - 29, 2026
✨Thursday, January 15, 11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.
⏳ Monday - Thursday, 10:00 am – 4:00 pm
🆓 to the public
Working with paper, ceramics, and textile, Sharon Servilio creates relief and free-standing sculptures that embody her ecstatic response to an abundantly animate world. Merging ancient ritual objects with current scientific research, the sculptures encode interspecies narratives such as pollination, food webs, and life cycles. Rejecting the paradigm of environment as inert, expendable, and severed from humanity, her work underscores the mythic and mystical dimensions of ecological stories.
HOLDING ME, HOLDING YOU By Pamela Hadley
📍 Carnation Contemporary, 8371 N Interstate Ave
🗓️ Jan 10 - Feb 1, 2026
✨Opening reception Saturday, Jan. 10, 5–8 p.m.
⏳ Hours: Sat-Sun 12-5 p.m.
🆓 to the public
An immersive installation featuring abstract projection-mapped animation and sound compositions that open paths to new futures through ecology, relational aesthetics, and the phenomenological.
Slowness is not just a method; it is a core strategy of Hadley’s practice—a deliberate act of healing from and resistance against a culture that often reduces the value of human life to what one produces while prioritizing rapid consumption and immediate outcomes. Facilitated here by perceptual experience, slowness and stillness invite reflection and connection and create space to imagine the ways in which we will remake our world.
Visitors are ushered into the darkness by small light works before discovering the full-room installation that is the focal point of this show. There, they will navigate the space, each other, and, if they remain still for long enough, perhaps the sequestered locales within their own inner landscape.
Mark your calendars! Portland Winter Lights Festival is coming back next year 🌟Feb 6-14, 2026🌟
Someone Once Told Me the Grass Is Much Greener, Diego Morales-Portillo
📍 Center for Contemporary Art and Design - Studies Lab Room 138, 511 NW Broadway
🗓️ until Dec 20, 2025
⏳ Hours: Monday-Saturday 9-5pm
🆓 to the public
Someone Once Told Me the Grass is Much Greener is an immersive installation that creates a literal border through the gallery space. A reflection on the immigrant experience—the process of acculturation, of shaping a new identity while holding on to fragments of another life, this installation evokes the feeling shared by many immigrants of living between worlds, where the person we once were may no longer exist on this side.
