Art on Oakdale is a free little art gallery located on the front lawn of my home studio in Portland’s Oakdale neighborhood. It’s a place where anyone can pause, enjoy, and even take home a small original piece of art—for free.

Yes! All pieces in the gallery are free to take, no strings attached. The idea is simple: art should be accessible, joyful, and part of everyday life. You're also welcome to leave a small creative offering in return, but it's not required.

Yes, absolutely! Art on Oakdale welcomes all kinds of creative contributions—drawings, small paintings, poems, collages, crafts, tiny sculptures, or even a thoughtful note. If it fits in the box and is made by you, it’s welcome.

It changes whenever people contribute or take pieces—which can be weekly, daily, or even multiple times a day. The best part is that it’s always evolving. You never know what you might find.

You can support the gallery by:

• Leaving a small piece of art

• Telling friends or neighbors about it

• Posting on social media and tagging the location

• Respecting the space and keeping it tidy

• Or simply by stopping by and enjoying it

If you’d like to contribute supplies or help maintain the gallery, feel free to contact me.
