About
The Grad Gallery is an annual contest for Portland healthcare graduate students.  Winners, selected by graduate program faculty, will have their art temporarily displayed in the graduate administrative office gallery at RLSB.  Our goal is to recognize the wealth of artistic talent in this community and provide an outlet for creative expression.
