The ArtLab: A Gallery + Project Space is a new, experimental art space for Jewish artists living and working in the Pacific Northwest. We partner with Jewish creatives across all genres, holding group and solo exhibitions and projects throughout the year. Art/lab’s mission is to establish a presence for and to initiate a dialogue with Jewish artists and Jewish content within the contemporary arts ecology of Portland, Oregon and beyond.
