When: April 23 - June 16
Portland is garnering lots of attention lately—for our leadership in sustainability; for our food scene; for being, well, weird.

Object Focus: The Bowl

Where: Museum of Contemporary Craft, Portland

Objects that occupy daily lives can be some of the most challenging to present, analyze and consider in a museum environment. The second in the Object Focus series, this exhibition focuses on an archetypal cultural form: the bowl. Commonplace and familiar, the bowl can range from utilitarian to decorative, functional to conceptual.
