Blue Sky, Oregon Center for the Photographic Arts

Application guidance

Artists should first review Blue Sky's exhibition history and submission guidelines on its website, as the gallery primarily accepts proposals through its annual open call for the Viewing Drawers and occasional curated opportunities. Proposals should demonstrate a coherent body of work, technical proficiency, and a clear artistic vision that aligns with Blue Sky's mission of supporting diverse photographic practices. Given its nonprofit status and limited resources, the gallery favors submissions that are well-researched, professionally presented, and include a thoughtful artist statement. It is advisable to visit the gallery or attend openings to understand its curatorial tone before applying.
