Portland Art Museum’s building modernization in 2023 raised the question: what makes the PAM and RSG? Now, in 2025, the question is answered. In this portrait and essay introduction to What Makes RSG?, Director and Chief Curator Brian Ferriso and RSG Manager Mark Tindle take us behind the canvas and frame at the Portland Art Museum’s Rental Sales Gallery. Through the quiet corners of downtown Portland and the gallery halls, they reveal the invisible forces that carry art forward: the mission, the city, and the people behind the art, behind the art.

Filmed in Super 35 mm style, this episode uncovers the continuity between art, place, identity and that which was a questions comes back as the answer, this is what makes RSG.
