The Museum's center for an untold tomorrow is a year-round organization and space where artists and audiences explore our region and the world through cinema and cinematic storytelling in all its forms. Its mission is to expand the reach of cinema as an Art form and challenge for whom, by whom and how stories can be told.through its non-traditional, unbound festivals, screenings, events, co:laboratory adult and youth classes and workshops, audiences and artists form connections that bind our community and encourage a more vibrant, accessible, and diverse media-arts ecosystem.

The learning and community partnerships team at the Portland Art Museum works to offer a full spectrum of programs and outreach initiatives that promote lifelong learning and build connections to our local community. Through programs, partnerships, and community advisory processes, the Museum strives to be more than just a collection of objects and artwork, but also to be a place where conversations about the world around us take place.
