You're invited to join us at the GMS gallery to celebrate this milestone with warmth, laughter, and of course - cake!

GMS was founded in 2017, intended as a year-long project by artist and activist Dana Lynn Louis. With the fervent support of the Portland community it quickly took on a life of its own. Today we are a 501(c)3 organization continuing to grow through the combined passion and imagination of our community!
