MEMBER APPLICATION
New members are juried in through our peer-run New Members Committee, and are promised a show within the first two years of their membership.

While the gallery does offer affordable studio space, renting a studio is NOT a requirement of membership in the organization. Participation on at least one committee is required. Please see the membership application (below) for more about member responsibilities.

The New Members Committee meets several times a year to review portfolios and applications. You will be notified by mail upon receipt of your portfolio. An interview with the New Member Committee will be scheduled upon successful review of your materials.

*Artists may exhibit in but cannot be represented commercially by any other art gallery in the Vancouver, Washington or Portland, Oregon area.
​**At this time all studio space is occupied but we can add you to our waiting list. Please email [email protected] and state your interest in a studio rental.
