Museum of Contemporary Craft
We helped The Museum of Contemporary Craft relocate from its historic neighborhood location to Portland’s North Park Blocks. The new museum had two floors of exhibition spaces opening to the park through generous windows. In 2016 the Contemporary Craft Museum closed and the space was purchase by the Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education. The original spaces, largely unchanged, are now dedicated to the documentation and display of the Jewish people of Oregon.
