Join the PMA throughout the year for intimate gatherings in the galleries to discuss works of art with new friends, nationally-recognized art historians, authors, filmmakers presenting their latest work in the Museum's auditorium, and internationally recognized artists visiting Portland for a dialogue about the state of their art. Lectures & Talks at the Museum offer a great way to learn about art and the Museum's collection.

Lectures & Talks
What Do You Think?: Group Discussions
We all have thoughts when we look at a work of art. This group meets at the Museum's Information Desk and heads into the galleries to closely examine one piece from the collection each month. Say what you think, and learn what others have to say—it may change the way you see. Conversation continues over lunch in the Museum Café (bring your own or purchase in the Café).
