<h4>About the Symposium</h4>

This multi-day symposium where community voices, artists, regional arts administrators, and national arts leaders will convene to explore the present significance and future potentials of public spaces, art, and monuments.

The Portland Monuments Symposium is the first of a series of public community activities supported by the City of Portland that builds from Portland’s Monuments & Memorials Project, inaugurated in 2021 by Converge 45, which scrutinized the impact of public monuments in Portland, Oregon. The original project comprised a series of online presentations, outdoor experiences, and the creation of temporary art installations on vacant pedestals following the removal of five monuments throughout the City of Portland.
