The OHSU Marquam Hill Art Committee was established in 1984 with the goal of enhancing the university image in the community through a variety of activities, one of which was campus beautification through the addition of art. The art collection began in 1985 with the gift of nine stunning paintings – the Intersecting Light series – by highly regarded Northwest artist Carl Morris. Throughout this early period, the university recognized the healing value of art but it was given major emphasis beginning in 1995 with an anonymous gift for art in the new Doernbecher Hospital.
The focus of the university's collection is primarily on Pacific Northwest artists. Today some 900 works greet visitors to the university complex and inspire all those who work at OHSU.
