Arlene Schnitzer is giving the Portland Art Museum another $10 million. It's the largest personal donation to the museum in its history and one of the largest to any Oregon arts organization.

Schnitzer, who with her late husband, Harold, has her name on multiple arts venues across the state, is donating the money for the museum as the lead gift in the Museum's ongoing Connection Campaign. The campaign is raising money to build the Rothko Pavilion and grow the museum's endowment in support of access, exhibitions and programs. This glass box entrance Rothko Pavilion will connect the museum's two main buildings, giving it a post-modern look and reducing the need to use the tunnel between them. Groundbreaking on the pavilion is expected next year.
