Portland native Leo Michelson amassed a large collection of contemporary artwork; one of the many artists he collected was the famous deaf artist Morris Broderson. Upon Michelson’s passing, he ensured that his collection of Broderson’s works were given to the Dyer Arts Center. This exhibition showcases the artworks Michelson donated and celebrates the artistic vision of Morris Broderson.
