SUMMARY:How We Show Up: Oregon Jews in Civil Society\, An America 250 Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Since Oregon’s founding in 1859\, Jews have participated in public life—building towns and holding office in the nineteenth century\, advocating for civil rights\, immigrant communities\, and social justice in the decades that followed. Drawing from the Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education’s collections\, How We Show Up shares the stories of early Jewish mayors who helped establish towns across Oregon\, women who organized networks of social welfare and immigrant support\, and lawyers\, activists\, and community leaders who worked to expand civil rights and democratic participation. The exhibition also examines moments of tension and contradiction\, exploring the limits of acceptance and the complexities of minority politics. As part of the national America 250 commemoration\, How We Show Up reflects on the ongoing work of democracy—and narrates how each generation chooses to show up. \nThe public opening for the exhibition on June 28 is from 3:00 – 5:00pm \nEvent Accessibility: \n\nWheelchair-accessible venue\nSensory-friendly accommodations\nService animals welcome

SUMMARY:One Nation
DESCRIPTION:One Nation Exhibition brings together contemporary artists who explore the ideals and contradictions embedded in the American promise. Drawing on the national motto E Pluribus Unum\, “Out of Many\, One\,” the exhibition reflects on how a diverse society strives toward unity while confronting social\, political\, and cultural divisions. \nThrough painting\, photography\, sculpture\, textile\, and mixed media\, the artists consider themes central to American civic life: immigration and belonging\, protest and dissent\, labor and economic justice\, religious freedom\, racial inequality\, and democratic ideals. Personal histories and collective memory intersect throughout the exhibition. \nPortraits of leaders and everyday citizens appear alongside symbolic images of journeys\, borders\, and shared responsibility. Together\, these works invite viewers to consider what unites Americans\, what challenges the nation’s commitment to liberty and justice\, and the role individuals and communities play in shaping the country’s future.
