As the exclusive lodging partner of the Oregon Historical Society, The Heathman Hotel is pleased to offer guests the opportunity to indulge the history buff in all of us with this unique package. The current exhibit at the Oregon Historical Society is titled: Walls of Heritage, Walls of Pride: African American Murals and runs November 16, 2010 to February 13, 2011. The exhibit showcases murals from all over the country with a special emphasis on work by the local artists.

The core show of photos of murals nationwide will be supplemented by an exciting array of original work from the local and regional muralists, from sketches and studies to entire mural panels. Highlights include work by two little-known women artists, Charlotte Lewis and Thelma Johnson Streat. The latter assisted Diego Rivera on one of his mural projects.

Also, getting significant attention for the first time will be the Albina Mural Project, painted in 1977, in which 7 artists of color, mostly African American, researched regional Black history and created 5 20x20-foot panels that were seen by thousands of Portlanders at the corner of North Vancouver Avenue and Alberta from 1978-1983.
