Here, To you, Now

The 2026 Converge 45 Triennial

Curated by Lumi Tan

The 2026 Converge 45 triennial Here, To you, Now centers on experiences that bring people together—here and now—while celebrating the meaningful temporary communities that form around art. Inspired by the writing of Portland literary icon Ursula K. Le Guin, the triennial features 28 artists and 17 new commissions that activate the city as a shared stage for discovery, dialogue, and connection.

Here, To you, Now opens across 16 venues citywide with a weekend of receptions, performances, screenings, and talks August 27–30, 2026, with programming continuing through the fall.
