Over the past four decades, Blue Sky has grown from an upstart artists’ collective to a mature, nationally recognized nonprofit photographic venue. This major survey exhibition of more than 120 works by artists shown at Blue Sky since 1975 will demonstrate the critical role that the gallery has played in the reconsideration and establishment of photography as a fine art medium.Blue sky Gallery 122 NW 8th Avenue, Portland 97209 Oregon États-Unis

An accompanying full-color catalogue features essays by Julia Dolan, Ph.D., the Museum’s Minor White Curator of Photography, and Todd J. Tubutis, Executive Director of Blue Sky, as well as an interview with the institution’s four surviving founders. The exhibition and publication together demonstrate the gallery’s meaningful contribution to an international dialogue about the meaning of photography in modern society.
