Portland Museum of Modern Art (PMOMA) in Portland, Oregon, was founded in 2012.[1] It was located in the basement of Mississippi Records and was founded by curator Libby Werbel.[2] The Museum was staffed by Mississippi Records employees.
History
At its founding, Werbel called the PMOMA "her fake museum."[3] OPB noted that PMOMA is "a tiny space that wittily challenges ideas about the nature of museums and the art-watching experience."[4] The project has received recognition in Artforum,[5] among others, and has been supported by the Precipice Fund, The Calligram Foundation, The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and the Regional Arts & Culture Council.[6] [7]
In September 2016, PMOMA hosted a residency series, Houseguest, on Pioneer Courthouse Square.[8] The PMOMA showcases contemporary folk art.[9]
In 2017, the museum was officially closed after 5 years of operation.[10]
