Art Curation for Portal at The River District, Eugene, Oregon
57 Unique Art Pieces
Work Completed Summer 2025
​
Art has the power to transform a space, tell a story, and create a lasting emotional connection. At Portal, I curated 57 unique works of art that celebrate the building's water-inspired design concept.
Working closely with the design team throughout construction, I coordinated artwork locations with lighting and architectural elements to ensure each piece became part of the overall experience. Featuring original artwork from predominantly local artists, the collection adds authenticity, character, and a strong sense of place that residents can enjoy every day.
