The Portland Art Museum’s rental gallery has been operating on the same business model since its inception in 1959. In the 1950s, the Portland Art Museum was the city’s art school as well as a gallery. They opened the rental gallery to showcase local artists’ works, and they’ve been offering rentals and sales ever since.

Mark Tindle has been the head of the rental sales gallery since 2021, and he joins us to share more about the gallery and its unique model.

The current showcase on display at the rental gallery is a collaboration with OPB’s Oregon Art Beat, featuring local artists who have been featured on the program. The exhibit is up in the rental gallery until July 11.

“Think Out Loud®” broadcasts live at noon every day and rebroadcasts at 8 p.m.
