A wave occurs when a body of water is disrupted.

Small disruptions can grow exponentially outward, affecting powerful change in a large area. WAVE borrows its name from this phenomenon, seeking to enact small, but effective, change on the art community in Portland.

WAVE is focused on two self-sustaining efforts: a committed critique group and an exhibition series. Each effort focuses on opportunities to connect artists in Portland with art critics, curators, and the public.
