Drawing from a remarkable gift to the Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education, Upon Thy Gates brings together 73 mezuzahs collected by Elaine K. and Norman Winik from Jewish communities around the world. Each mezuzah embodies a distinct community’s aesthetic sensibilities and local influences while remaining tied to a shared tradition of marking and making home.

This exhibition was produced by the Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education

Amy Sherald: American Sublime traces the evolution of the artist, a defining voice of her generation who transformed American portraiture.

“American Sublime is a salve. It’s a call to remember our shared humanity and an insistence on being seen.” —Amy Sherald

The exhibition tells the story of Sherald’s vision and practice through approximately 40 paintings created from 2007 to the present—from her early, rarely seen works to her iconic, larger-than-life portraits of Black Americans in everyday moments.
