This special exhibit features locally-connected artists who share their unique take on a variety of traditional methods. Check out the diverse talent that makes up Gresham’s artistic landscape.
This exhibit is funded by a City of Gresham Cultural Events Grant. Most of the art on display in this exhibit has been purchased from the artists and will remain in our permanent collection so that it can inspire future generations.
Making and Mending is a celebration of the once-great art of textileworking. Encompassing a variety of hand-sewing techniques, this exhibit explores the meaning that sewing once held by featuring garments in GHS’s collection of historic textiles. Thanks to the efforts of volunteer curator Rose Caughie, we are coming into a greater understanding of the stories and knowledge contained within this remarkable collection.
This year’s photo essay, Overlooking East Metro, offers perspective on the physical changes the Gresham area has undergone starting with the earliest known aerial images taken in around 1905. Test your knowledge of local geography and compare today’s Gresham with photos from the past.
Learn about childhood in the Gresham area through recollections in the GHS oral history collection.
This exhibit changes annually to feature new donations.
Consisting of 14 interpretive panels with text and historic photos, this exhibit explores the history of the Rockwood community from time immemorial through the present day.
