History

Established in 1988.

Founded in 1988, Butters Gallery, Ltd. opened in the historic Buddha Building, an early move to a neighborhood that ultimately became the Pearl District. The gallery then expanded to two locations; Butters Gallery Ltd. on the corner of NW 9^th and Everett and Butters International Arts in downtown Portland. In 1997, Butters Gallery had consolidated the two galleries and moved into the historic NW neighborhood of Old Town/​Chinatown. After 18 years of holding art exhibitions in the 5000 square foot loft style gallery, the Butters family once again made a decision to take Butters Gallery to a budding creative location on the central east side of Portland.
