The Left Coast Artists Collective (LCAC) is a group of Portland, Oregon artists.

Our mission is to inspire artistic expression through support, innovation and creativity for the benefit of individuals and the community we live in.

Our members work in various mediums including painting, drawing, print-making, mixed media, textiles, metalsmithing/jewelry, glass, pottery, and photography. Several members are writers or work at jobs unrelated to art, while others teach art or make their living as full-time artists.

We meet monthly to show our current work, gather opinions, and explore new techniques. We strive to inspire each other to move forward creatively, and to support one another in artistic experimentation. LCAC members share their experiences working in the Portland art scene, and help each other gain a wider audience for our work.

New members are welcome! Please contact our chairperson, Sheila DeLaquill for more information at Sdelaquil@gmail.com.
