Join us in celebrating the impact of the Arts Access Fund in Portland schools

Literary Arts is proud to host one of six student art exhibitions from the City of Portland’s Arts Access Fund in our bookstore and community space in Portland’s Central Eastside at 716 SE Grand Avenue.

Based on the work of Philadelphia-based Nigerian American abstract artist Odili Donald Odita, students from northeast Portland’s Reynolds School District created a body of work emphasizing abstract triangles.

The exhibition runs from March 11–31 with an opening celebration on Sunday, March 16 at 4:00 p.m. We hope you will join us!

What is the Arts Access Fund?

The City of Portland’s Arts Access Fund is powered by an annual income tax of $35—known as the Arts Tax. The fund supports arts education, inclusive of visual and performing arts, in elementary schools across town, as well as grants for artists and arts organizations. 

With tax season underway, we know that Portlanders might be thinking about the Arts Tax. What’s the impact of the Arts Access Fund, and why is it worth celebrating? Click here to learn more and see where the other art exhibitions installations are happening.
