HACCM is proud to participate in the 72nd Annual Portland Greek Festival! Stop by to view traditional arts, learn more about Greek culture, and chat with a docent about the special exhibit.
Visit the museum to see our permanent collection of paintings, traditional textiles, and unique artifacts that tell stories of the Hellenic American experience in the Pacific Northwest and beyond. HACCM invites you to explore the current exhibit “Follow the Thread: The Fabric of the Hellenic Spirit.” This exhibit showcases the folk art and textile legacy of Greece from the 17th century to the present day. It includes examples of embroidery and weaving, as well as clothing and tapestries, many of which are part of HACCM’s permanent collection and several of which have been loaned by members of Portland’s Hellenic community. Follow the thread as it weaves a story of geography, history, and of course, the individuals who made, wore, or owned the pieces on display.
Please note:
The hours for the Portland Greek Festival and HACCM differ slightly. The museum will be open Friday (10/3) & Saturday (10/4) from 10am-8pm and Sunday (10/5) from 11am-7pm.
There is no admission fee to visit the museum. During the Greek Festival weekend, however, there is an admission fee to enter the Festival.
