Launching in early August 2026, Wildwood: Follow the Crows is a new public art trail presented in partnership with LAIKA, OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital, Wild in Art, the Portland Metro Chamber, Downtown Portland Clean & Safe, and supported by the Visit Downtown Campaign.
The trail will feature one-of-a-kind sculptures, hand-painted by local artists, and is sponsored by generous donors from the Portland-metro community. All the sculptures will be auctioned off once the art trail closes in fall of 2026, and the proceeds will support OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital. Welcome to Wildwood — where magic takes flight.
