    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.

  • Review of the Year
    Review of the Year OTHER COUNTRIES Canada National Affairs LLTHOUGH CANADA IN 1986 ENJOYED continued economic expansion and a modest decline in the unemployment rate, the governing Progressive Conserv- ative (PC) party of Prime Minister Brian Mulroney did not fare well politically. Beset by an image of bungling and incompetence, it also saw some of its leading members become involved in scandal. As a consequence, by the end of the year the Conservatives trailed both the Liberals and the New Democrats (NDP) in public- opinion polls. The most surprising political development of the year was the surge in popularity of the NDP, whose socialist outlook had previously consigned it to also-ran status but which now emerged—largely because of the personal appeal of its leader, Ed Broadbent—as a serious contender against the other two parties. One of the most difficult issues for the government was refugee policy. Canada's generally humanitarian approach had made it a popular destination for growing numbers of refugees, especially from South Asia, including many who entered the country illegally and then claimed refugee status. Canadians seeking to stem this flow sought to distinguish those who were genuine refugees from political persecu- tion from those who were simply seeking a better life, but this distinction was not universally accepted. The issue was dramatized in August, when 155 Tamils were found in a small boat off Canada's Atlantic coast, after having been brought from West Germany by freighter. The question of admitting the fugitives proved divisive in the country, with Jews, mindful of the hostile posture of Canada toward Jewish refugees during the Nazi period, generally supportive of the Tamil case.
