Sustainable art has emerged as an art term that can be distinguished
from environmental art as art that is in harmony with the key principles of sustainability, which includes ecology, social
justice, non-violence and grassroots democracy. Portland Delta House hopes to encourage
local artists by displaying their sustainable artwork in the center.
