Each year, the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art presents selections from its growing permanent collection in an exhibition, offering fresh perspectives through thematic exhibitions, recent acquisitions, and curated installations.

Open August 25, 2026 through March 13, 2027, “JSMA Collects” explores the many ways artists, curators, and visitors connect with nature, place, and one another. Works on view reflect the relationships between environments and communities, while spring installations expand the conversation to themes of home, family, and everyday life, inviting reflection on the natural world and our place within it.

From its founding collection of nineteenth- and twentieth-century American and European paintings, the museum's holdings have grown to more than 4,000 works of art. Today, the collection spans the eighteenth century to the present and features a diverse range of regional, national, and international artists whose works illuminate the breadth and evolution of visual culture.

You know how the race ended — but the story was just beginning. Lightwire Theater’s The Adventures of Tortoise and Hare: The Next Gen picks up a decade after the finish line, where Old Man Tortoise and Big Daddy Hare are now fathers navigating a world of smartphones and video games. When Tortoise Junior and Lil’ Hare disappear into unexpected territory, their fathers must set aside a lifetime of rivalry and join forces. Told through Lightwire Theater’s signature electroluminescent puppetry and a soundtrack ranging from classical to pop, this visually stunning production transforms a timeless fable into a poignant reflection on connection, parenthood, and what it really means to win. A spectacular family experience you won’t want to miss.

There will be a post-show Q&A and behind the scene’s look at the L-wire technology used by the performers.

One night. Three comedians. Countless laughs. Join us for a whirlwind of hilarity featuring three distinct comedic styles that will take you from everyday absurdities to unexpected revelations. Whether you love observational humor, storytelling, or lightning-quick wit, this show delivers.

One of jazz’s most thrilling and unpredictable voices, trumpeter and composer Cyrus Nabipoor splits his time between New Orleans and Portland, OR — and carries the spirit of both cities in his music. Praised by JazzTimes for his “deadly trumpet chops” and by Offbeat Magazine as a bandleader “for whom no style or emotion is off limits,” Nabipoor has captivated audiences at festivals from the French Quarter to Chicago. His debut album In Lieu of Tears is a bold landmark in American jazz. In the intimate setting of the Black Box, Cyrus Nabipoor delivers exactly what jazz promises at its best: surprise, soul, and something you’ll never forget.

Inspired by Japan’s infamous batsu game (罰ゲーム, “punishment game”), four fearless comedians face off in improv challenges where failure means hilarious punishment – from shocking surprises to paintball splatters -all with the audience deciding their fate.

Hosted by Japanese TV star Brian “Bu-Chan” Walters, BATSU! blends the spectacle of Japanese variety shows with the unpredictability of American improv. If Whose Line is it Anyway? and Squid Game had a child, this would be it!

Critics agree:
• “This is truly our favorite thing we’ve ever seen, anywhere.” — Playbill
• “Hilarious, strange and kind of sick!” — Thrillist
• “Audiences roared with laughter.” — Chicago Sun-Times
• “It’s ridiculous, hilarious, sexy, gross – really, it’s addictive.” — The Wee Review

Content Advisory: BATSU! is not intended for young children. This experience contains flashing lights, haze, and simulated violence, including the use of a paintball gun. Do you dare to BATSU!?
