Exhibition Details
Each year in the Spring, Oregon and Washington artists have the opportunity to apply for membership to the gallery in April. The deadline is April 29th this year. New accepted members to the gallery will have 5 works shown and entered into inventory for our New Artist Show, usually the third or fourth Friday in June. Once an artist becomes a member, they are then invited to submit new art to our members shows in April and October. Staff will ascertain if the artwork is well received by the public within one year for continued membership. The Rental Sales Gallery has some 240+ members currently.

Jurors

Juries change from show to show with the panel consisting of: a member of the PAM staff, the director of the gallery, a long time artist member, a long time gallery staff volunteer and the head of our jury committee.
Categories
Most categories of art are accepted excluding those that would be too much of a liability for renting. Mediums excluded would be jewelry, textiles, glass and pottery. Also excluded would be excessively heavy sculptures or hanging paintings, and any one piece exceeding 72 inches on one side. The gallery accepts oils, acrylics, watercolor, prints, photography, encaustic, sculpture, framed textiles, and mixed media.
Sales
All artwork in the inventory must be available for both rental and sale. Artists receive a 60% commission for a sale and 50% commission for a rental. Rentals are for a 3 month period and the artist would receive their 50% once for all 3 months.
