Portland’s art community first organized this iconic event and remains the backbone of the Art Auction today. The event has grown over the past two decades and this year featured 250 works of art. There was a special section with five pieces donated by prominent art collectors, including Arlene Schnitzer and Kurt Beadell. Guest Curator for 2012 was Bonnie Laing-Malcomson, Curator of Northwest Art at the Portland Art Museum.
Incorporated in 1985, Cascade AIDS Project (CAP) is the oldest and largest AIDS Service Organization in Oregon and Southwest Washington. Our programs serve the broad and diverse set of communities impacted by HIV, from community specific programs focused on teens, Latinos, the gay community, individuals and families living with HIV, to the thousands of individuals throughout the state who seek education though our AIDS/STD hotline each year. A committed 21-member volunteer Board of Directors provides strategic guidance and oversight to ensure CAP accomplishes its mission and continues to operate with integrity and transparency.
