Celebrate our country’s 250th birthday with art and democracy – and the League of Women Voters!
What does democracy mean for the United States at this moment in history?
LWVPDX is excited to celebrate our country’s 250th birthday in collaboration with artists at Oregon Contemporary as part of their biennial exhibition, “The Price of the Ticket.”
What: Forum on the Fourth: Democracy, Voting, and Civic Embodiment
Where: Oregon Contemporary Art Gallery, 8371 N. Interstate Ave, Portland, OR 97217
When: Saturday, July 4, 2026, 2:00 – 4:00 pm
Who: All members of the public invited; LWVPDX members encouraged to drop by!
LWVPDX President Audrey deCoursey will be in conversation with T.K. Smith, Curator of the Artists’ Biennial, and artist Katherine Longstreth.
The Artists’ Biennial is a survey of works by visual and performing artists who are defining and advancing Oregon’s contemporary art landscape. The Changing Room is an installation in the Artists’ Biennial that incorporates twentieth century government films about the census, voting, and technology, with the real experience of being surveilled, scanned and coached.
