To mark its tenth anniversary, Cascadia Art Museum presents A Decade of Rediscovery: Cascadia Art Museum’s Tenth Anniversary, a landmark exhibition celebrating a decade of groundbreaking exhibitions that have uncovered the lost history of Northwest visual art.
Since opening its doors, Cascadia has recovered and presented the region’s overlooked artistic legacy through original exhibitions and scholarly publications that have earned national and international acclaim. This anniversary exhibition features a representative selection of artworks donated or promised to the museum’s permanent collection in honor of this milestone.
Reflecting the depth and diversity of creative expression in the Northwest, the exhibition includes painting, printmaking, photography, sculpture, ceramics, and design objects, documenting the region’s rich cultural history.
Walker Gallery Feature: A Look Back at Ten Years of Cascadia
In the Walker Gallery, visitors will find a visual and narrative journey through Cascadia Art Museum’s first decade. This special presentation includes a selection of exhibition posters alongside archival photographs, memorabilia, and behind-the-scenes materials that highlight the museum’s evolution and impact. More than promotional tools, the exhibition posters reflect Cascadia’s mission—rooted in original scholarship and deep relationships with artists’ families, private collectors, and peer institutions. Since opening, the museum has originated every exhibition in-house, illuminating the overlooked stories of Northwest art that might otherwise have remained untold.
