INCIGHT honors the life and work of David Hockney, one of the most influential artists of our time. Hockney transformed the way we see perspective, technology, and the everyday beauty of the world around us.

INCIGHT Executive Director, Scott Hatley, Board Member Eugene Wallace, and Pia Gilgen, Director of Education, had the pleasure of exploring the exhibit at the Portland Art Museum back in February. There is still time to experience David Hockney: Works from the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation, on view at the Portland Art Museum through July 26, 2026.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us for our June 16th workshop, “Getting Ahead: AI and Today’s Job Search Landscape!”

We were excited to welcome 70 attendees who learned how AI is changing the recruitment process, how employers are adapting their hiring strategies, and what job seekers can do to stay competitive in today’s evolving workforce.

Participants explored ways to strengthen their professional brand, identify transferable skills, and position themselves for new opportunities with confidence.

Special thanks to our guest speaker, Claire Martin, Director of Employer Engagement at Willamette University, for sharing her expertise and insights.
