3D Center of Art & Photography, Portland

3D Center of Art & Photography, Portland

The 3D Center of Art and Photography is an American nonprofit educational institution that opened in 2003. It is the first museum in the United States dedicated to stereoscopy. From 2003 to 2011, the Center was located in a small leased storefront on NW Lovejoy Street that presented exhibits open to the public. The Center closed its doors to the public on December 31, 2011, due to poor economic conditions and increased rent on its leased premises. The Center is currently engaged in an ongoing fundraising campaign to move to a location that will accommodate large groups of visitors.

The 3D Center collects historic and contemporary stereoscopic imagery and equipment. Its public exhibition space presented daily 3D slide shows, interactive displays, varying featured artists, display cabinets of antique 3D equipment and paraphernalia, and a gift shop full of 3D items. A 3-D viewing screen in the museum's collection was featured in the fifth season of the PBS television program History Detectives. The Center is "committed to presenting the best new work by contemporary artists working in 3D imagery, both nationally and internationally." It offered classes and workshops in stereoscopic techniques.
