The Buckman Art Show & Sell is an annual tradition in Portland. In its 23rd year, the festival features paintings, ceramics, sculptures, photography, prints, collage, mosaics, fabric and paper arts. Plus, textiles, fashion accessories, jewelry, and toys created by 150 established veterans and emerging talents in the Northwest art world. A separate gallery showcases the work of talented Buckman students and young alumni.
Participating artists donate 30% of their proceeds from sales at the show to the Buckman Arts Focus Elementary School PTA—funds that are used to purchase art supplies, equipment, props and costumes for school performances, needed items for their arts- integrated classrooms, and more.
