2008 Call for Submission Form - Main Gallery

2007 Exhibition History
2006 Exhibition History

Exhibits cutting edge contemporary art focusing on, but not limited to, installation and site specific work, and ranges from individual artists to guest curators. Our goal is to be a flexible gallery used to maximize artist’s creativity by providing a space where local and national, emerging and established curators and artists are shown side by side. We feel this creates an important educational experience for the Portland community, art patrons and artists and fuels an integral, ongoing dialog of the Portland Arts scene in relation to the rest of the country’s established arts communities.

Managed by Portland Art Center, Open Space Gallery is a home for a wide variety of exhibits and is available for temporary lease by individual artists, art organizations, educational institutions and art associations. We view this as a community space for enhancing and developing creative interactions, by providing access to alternative gallery space. This is the only space of its kind in the region. Open Space Gallery is located on the second floor of Portland Art Center.

2008 Call for Submission Form - Light & Sound Gallery

2007 Exhibition History
2006 Exhibition History

The Light & Sound Gallery at the Portland Art Center is a new space dedicated to the exhibition of video and sound-art installations. Our intention is to create a comfortable, focused space for listening and viewing which will encourage lengthy interactions. We will feature installation-based audio and/or video pieces, with an emphasis on multi-channel and sculptural work. As well as exhibitions that fully explore the spatial potentials of sound and image while challenging the conventions of narrative and viewer/listener orientation.
