To make the most of your evening, here’s a recommended walking route starting from the northernmost gallery and moving southward. You’d have to be really fast to see them all, so looking at the websites ahead of time and leaving the ones that stay open later to last is also a potential strategy.

1. Russo Lee Gallery (805 NW 21st Ave)
2. Augen Gallery (716 NW Davis St)
3. Froelick Gallery (714 NW Davis St)
4. Blue Sky Gallery (122 NW 8th Ave)
5. Blackfish Gallery (938 NW Everett St)
6. Gallery 114 (1100 NW Glisan St)
7. Elizabeth Leach Gallery (417 NW 9th Ave)
8. Waterstone Gallery (124 NW 9th Ave)
9. Laura Vincent Gallery (824 NW Davis St)

Making time for it won’t be easy, but admission is free at the Portland Art Museum.

Please note: First Thursday galleries are numbered in blue.

This route covers approximately 1.5 miles and allows you to experience a diverse range of exhibitions. Be sure to check each gallery’s website for any updates or changes to event details.
