was a center for contemporary art in Southeast Portland, Oregon. It was led by a desire to support artists, propose new modes of production, and stimulate the ongoing public discourse around art. This website serves as an archive of Yale Union’s programming from 2011 through 2021.

Yale Union acknowledges that it occupies the traditional lands of the Multnomah, Chinook, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Tualatin Kalapuya, Molalla, and other Indigenous peoples.

home school

home school were artists-in-residence at Yale Union from Mar – Dec 2019, the first time the project hasn’t been a pop-up. With YU’s help, home school’s fourth year of curriculum deepened their exploration of publication, screening, and demarketized conversation as platforms for aesthetic production and contemplation. Please browse the links in the column to the right for information and documentation for 2019 curricular events, all of which occurred at YU unless otherwise noted.

home school is a free pop-up art school in Portland, OR run by Victoria Anne Reis and manuel arturo abreu. We provide welcoming contexts for critical engagement with contemporary art and its issues. Our pedagogy honors the casual rigor of the etymology of “school,” from the Greek shkole, “spare time, leisure, idleness, rest.”
