Nucleus Portland 2916 Northeast Alberta Street, Portland, OR 97211

"Great selection of art prints, books, and knickknacks. Love coming here for gifts."

"There are 2 locations on Alberta, so double check before you head out. We were looking for the show at the other location (on 11th?). Anyways, this location had a fabulous show, which I was a bit more partial to. We picked up a print from the show -AND- a print I'd only seen randomly on the Internet! The store guy (sorry I forgot your name) checked the other location for the piece my husband specifically came to find. Unfortunately, it had sold out. If you are a local artist, this is a beautiful space for a showing (giant courtyard). If you are looking for a fun art piece, this is a great starting point. If you are looking for a gift/card/special item, there are lots of local artists represented. I even saw Miffy the Bunny merch. I haven't seen any of her things in AGES! Excited to come back (and to the other location) next time we are in Portland."

"Nucleus has been on my visit list for a long time and it did not disappoint! The gift shop is stellar and has so many great artists. The staff also clearly love what they do and will have great artist recommendations for you."

"Continued to love this place and the events they host. They just hosted a DJ and draw event where DJs came to spin and throw down their own beats and mixes. True urban culture and scene mixed with creativity from illustrations. They have other events like "Bug & Brew" where you can draw live unique bugs as well as their weekly drink and draw. The owners have been such welcoming and awesome people since the first day I moved here. Great environment! Come check it out when you drop through Portland"

"I stumbled across this gallery (or shall I say art bar) after eating at Poke Mon next door. A lovely concept of chill beer bar and affordable art. Currently on exhibit is art made from coasters which makes for interesting original micro masterpieces. Additionally they have a decent selection of prints, greeting cards, and lapel pins. Be sure to check out the beers and sit and draw at one of the adorable table benches. They have a good selection with some beers I haven't seen on tap at other places. Excited to see what goes up next month."
