  • Portland Art Museum Receives Historic $10 Million Gift from Philanthropist Arlene Schnitzer the Largest Gift Ever to a Portland Arts Organization, Mrs
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Ian Gillingham Press & Publications Manager 503-276-4342 503-334-6893 (after hours) Portland Art Museum receives historic $10 million gift from philanthropist Arlene Schnitzer The largest gift ever to a Portland arts organization, Mrs. Schnitzer’s donation continues an extraordinary legacy of support for the Museum and the arts. Portland, Oregon, January 21, 2020—The Portland Art Museum today announced a landmark gift of $10 million from philanthropist Arlene Schnitzer, representing the largest contribution from an individual donor in the 127-year history of the institution. This gift is also among the top gifts to the arts in the region, signaling to the community the importance of continued investment in the art and culture of Portland and our region. The gift was announced at the Museum this morning by Jordan Schnitzer, Mrs. Schnitzer’s son, who like his mother is a noted collector and arts philanthropist. Gov. Kate Brown spoke of Mrs. Schnitzer’s extraordinary leadership to approximately 200 invitees, underscoring the importance of the Schnitzers and others investing in the arts in our state. U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici brought additional good news to this morning’s event, announcing a $750,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities in support of the Museum’s Connections Campaign. Through that campaign, the Museum will transform its campus by connecting its two buildings via the new Mark Rothko Pavilion and by growing its endowment in support of access, exhibitions, and programs. The Schnitzer gift now represents the lead gift in the Museum's ongoing Connection Campaign, which is currently in the quiet phase.
