Russo Lee Gallery

Originally founded in 1986 by Laura Russo, the gallery has operated for over 35 years in the same space at 805 NW 21st Avenue in Portland, Oregon. Led now by Martha Lee, the gallery maintains its mission to represent regional artists and connect them with a local and global community through regular exhibitions and artists’ talks. In addition to showing many of the artists and estates of those who inaugurated the gallery three decades ago, we have also welcomed successive generations of artists, helping to foster Portland’s vibrant visual arts scene. While keeping a focus on the Pacific Northwest, the gallery exhibits a variety of media and philosophy, from painting, sculpture, glass, weaving and ceramics to installation and video.
