form & focus
11 APRIL 2026
portland art museum
A celebration of art in its most essential form—and the focused, intentional care that drives our mission.
Form & Focus explores the relationship between what is shown and how we see it. In minimalist art, form becomes the content—stripped of narrative, decoration, or distraction. This year’s theme invites guests to slow down, look closely, and experience both art and impact in their most distilled, intentional state.
portland’s most powerful night of art and impact.
The CAP Art Auction is a signature fundraising event supporting Cascade AIDS Project’s work across Oregon & Southwest Washington. Each year, we bring together artists, community members, advocates, and art lovers to raise essential funds for HIV services, LGBTQ+ healthcare, and housing support.
Featuring 100 works generously donated by local and national artists, this unforgettable evening blends artistic excellence with heartfelt activism—reminding us that when art and purpose align, the results are transformative.
