After wildly successful stops in the U.S. and Canada last year, the Criterion Mobile Closet is coming to the Portland Art Museum from Friday, May 29 to Sunday, May 31.
*Location*
SW Madison Street and South Park Blocks, across the street from the Portland Art Museum’s main entrance
*Opening Hours*
Friday, May 29: 11 a.m.–7 p.m.
Saturday, May 30: 11 a.m.–7 p.m.
Sunday, May 31: 10 a.m.–3 p.m.
*What is the Criterion Mobile Closet?*
- The Criterion Mobile Closet is stocked with every in-print edition from the Criterion Collection, including box sets, as well as all in-print releases from our Eclipse and Criterion Premieres lines.
- The Mobile Closet will be open to the general public until we reach capacity for the day.
- There is currently no reservation or advance ticketing system in place; just show up at the location at the designated time and take your place in line. Out of respect for the communities we visit, we thank you for arriving just before we form the line. Up to four people can share a Closet visit, so bring your friends or make friends in line! (We encourage group visits.)
- As long as supplies last, you’ll receive a Criterion tote bag and a printed pocket guide to the Criterion Collection.
- Although we’ll have our camera rolling throughout the Closet visit, there’s absolutely no pressure to perform or talk about your selections. Your experience in the Closet is yours to create!
- Each Closet visit will last three minutes. Once the clock starts (spoiler: it’s when you enter!), you’ll have that time to explore the collection or talk about your selections. Don’t worry—the Criterion Closet team is there to help you find what you’re looking for, and if all you want to do is look around, that’s okay too!
- No purchase is required, but you are able to buy up to three items with our special Mobile Closet discount of 40 percent off. A limited amount of Criterion merch may also be available for purchase at the time of your visit. We accept credit cards only.
Visitors can also look forward to a series of screenings and a live recording of the Criterion Channel original series ADVENTURES IN MOVIEGOING with Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein—the actors, writers, and cocreators behind PORTLANDIA—as well as three films programmed by Criterion: MONTEREY POP (May 23), PARIS IS BURNING (May 24), and SOMETHING WILD (May 30): portlandartmuseum.org/event/pam-cut-x-criterion
