Double Your Impact: Support the 2026 Converge 45 Triennial
We are excited to announce the launch of a $100,000 sustainability campaign, which will keep this important triennial in Portland, keep it growing and evolving, and keep it free for everyone.
Thanks to the support of generous donors, the first $25,000 will be matched dollar-for-dollar, but we must make the match by October 15. That means the power of your tax-deductible gift will be doubled, bringing twice the art, twice the connection, twice the discovery and revelry.
Here, To you, Now features 28 artists and 17 new commissions at 16 venues across the city. This Portland-born triennial, curated by the incredible Lumi Tan, is being featured in Artforum, ArtReview and ARTNews.
We’ve been bringing people together through art and ideas for the past 10 years, and we know this is just our first decade. Join us, if you believe in the power of art to build Portland’s future. If you believe in the power of art for conversation and connection–connection within Portland and to the rest of the world–please consider how much that is worth to you.
If you believe that art should be a site for experimentation and collaboration. That art should be accessible to everyone, please share your gift below, to help us make our match!
Why Your Support Matters
Your support directly powers the 2026 Triennial opening August 27th, funding new artist commissions, public installations, and city-wide programming while keeping these core exhibitions completely free and accessible to the entire community. By giving today, you not only bring this ambitious visual arts program to life, but also build a resilient operational foundation that ensures Converge 45 remains a vibrant cultural platform for years to come.
