Effective October 1, Oregon College of Art and Craft (OCAC) will be the new home of the storied Art Gym (TAG). With the closing of Marylhurst University, all Art Gym operations, collections, and upcoming exhibitions will move to the OCAC campus.  Most importantly, the mission and intellectual property of TAG and its staff will move to OCAC to continue the long-standing commitment to artists in the region.

The Art Gym is nationally recognized as a vehicle for the contemporary art practices of the Pacific Northwest and beyond. The Art Gym’s ambitious exhibitions by emerging and established artists have created the standard for culturally significant art in our region, primarily focused on the makerships of Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, and Alaska. Our mission is to support a diverse group of artists working in thoughtful, experimental, and critically engaged ways through exhibitions, performances, publications and adaptable opportunities for public engagement.
