Bringing Artists Together to Support Historic Preservation

Found portland is a benefit to support the Architectural Heritage Center by showcasing the work of a diverse community of local artists as they re-examine and re-imagine artifacts and elements of our historic past.

The Foundportland opening was a Huge Success! We'd like to extend a special thanks to Bosco-Milligan Foundation Board Member, Jeff Varner, for pulling this fantastic show together and to our sponsors, Rhino Digital, Citizen Graphics, and Maletis Beverage.

Inspired by an Architectural Heritage Center exhibit entitled "Lost Portland", which featured beautifully crafted parts salvaged from homes and buildings that no longer exist, Foundportland celebrates the work of artists who have preserved elements of our past and explore them in creative new ways.  All the artwork is available for sale and ranges from jewelry to furniture – a great opportunity to do a little holiday shopping while supporting historic preservation.

Foundportland will be on display in the Meyer Memorial Trust Gallery at the Architectural Heritage Center until December 31, 2009. 

Currently on display in the M. J. Murdock Charitable Trust Classroom is the history of the Bosco-Milligan Foundation and the Architectural Heritage Center.
