Welcome to the Cantor Arts Center

The Cantor is honored to be the final—and only west coast—venue for this acclaimed exhibition organized by the Portland Museum of Art in Maine. Seventh-generation basket weaver Jeremy Frey (b. 1978) often remarks that the exhibition was “thousands of years in the making.”

Animal, Vegetable, nor Mineral is the first large-scale solo museum exhibition of Manila-born, Los Angeles-based artist Miljohn Ruperto. Working across photography, video, animation, generative artificial intelligence, and other mediums, Ruperto explores the ways humans have understood their place in the world.

Modern and Contemporary American Abstraction showcases recent significant acquisitions by well-known abstract expressionists including Jackson Pollock, Franz Kline, and George Miyasaki.

Dwelling: New Acquisitions showcases recent acquisitions to the Cantor Arts Center's collection and explores how these works expand our understanding of home. The works in this exhibition change frequently, with many new acquisitions having been added in November 2025.
