$10 Year-Round Admission to Portland Art Museum


Year-round Admission for the Price of Lunch!
Portland Art Museum Offers College Students Easy Access to Art

College students now have greater access to the educational resources, galleries and special exhibitions (fees may apply) at the Portland Art Museum through the College Student Pass Program. The program, now in its second year, gives students one year of admission to the Museum for $10-the price of a single regular adult ticket. The College Student Pass can be purchased by any college or university student and is good from September 1, 2007 through August 31, 2008.

With more than 40,000 objects in its permanent collection, including photography, prints and drawings, and American, European, Native American, Asian, Northwest, and modern and contemporary art, the Portland Art Museum offers students an in-depth, first-hand educational experience. The Museum is also home to the Anne and James F. Crumpacker Family Library, a unique resource for students with more than 33,000 non-circulating volumes on art history.

In addition to its resources and permanent galleries, the Museum also has lectures, tours, Midday Art Breaks, classes and other events throughout the year, many of which accompany special exhibitions. In September, the Museum will host a special lecture by Ursula von Rydingsvard (Sept. 16), internationally known for her massive cedar sculpture. In October, the Museum will welcome two new exhibitions: Chuck Close Prints: Process and Collaboration (Oct. 6); and APEX: Ann Gale-an exhibition series showcasing artists from the Northwest-featuring work by Seattle figurative painter, Ann Gale (Oct. 13).

The College Student Pass can be purchased during regular business hours at the Museum box office any time during the year with valid student identification. Some special exhibition fees may apply. Students are required to present their school identification card along with their College Student Pass each time they visit the Portland Art Museum.
