Gallerie Rene

Since opening in 2006, owner Rene’ Anderson-Cowell has sought to infuse the Portland art scene with a fresh mix of ethnically diverse art depicting the range of cultural influences in the area. The gallery applies a curatorial standard of selecting artists whose work transcends the boundaries of particular styles or media, and incorporates elements that form a common language of artistic appreciation. The gallery shows work of artists working both two and three-dimensional media. We pride ourselves on providing a comfortable environment for any patron to absorb some of the best that Portland has to offer. In addition to showing art, the gallery promotes the concept of being a community and educational resource and supporter of non-profits benefiting both local and international relief, particularly in Africa. We hold regular events that focus on specific organizations and themes, utilizing these occasions to incorporate music, spoken word and other art forms.
