Where To Play: Harvest Celebration at the Portland Art Museum
Wednesday, November 11, 2026 | Downtown Portland
Harvest Celebration brings together two of Oregon's most celebrated crafts, winemaking and visual art, for an evening built around creativity, craftsmanship, and a shared appreciation for place.
Inside the Portland Art Museum's Grand Ballroom, 54 wineries from throughout the Willamette Valley will showcase their wines alongside six artist-centered experiences. Rather than organizing the evening around traditional tasting stations, wineries will be grouped around artists whose work explores similar themes.
Six Artists, Six Creative Experiences
Guests will have the opportunity to explore the work of six featured Pacific Northwest artists and meet participating winemakers:
- Wayne Chin: Rooted in the Natural Environment
- Duncan Neilson: A Sense of Place
- Yong Hong Zhong: Seasons and Cycles
- Max McBurnett: Craft and Transformation
- Richard Cutshall and Jennifer Gillia Cutshall: Connection & Community
- Chuck Bloom: Small Wonders
Throughout the evening, guests can enjoy wine tastings, conversations with artists and winemakers, live art demonstrations, and seasonal culinary offerings.
With the holiday season approaching, participating wineries will also offer special opportunities to purchase wine, while artwork will be available for purchase or rental through the Portland Art Museum's Rental Sales Gallery.
