ARTIST EXHIBIT PROGRAM
Clackamas County Arts Alliance showcases the work of local visual artists through our Artist Exhibit Program (AEP). We match artists with libraries, hospitals, county buildings, and other public spaces so their art can be viewed by the public.
The Arts Alliance coordinates installation, and artwork rotates regularly in venues throughout Clackamas County. Community members are able to enjoy changing exhibits, experience various art mediums, and learn about local artists. AEP opens doors to additional exhibit and sales opportunities for artists, while also providing skill building and gallery readiness training. The call for artists to participate in AEP (which is offered commission-free) is extended annually, with an updated roster of artists announced once selections have been completed.

ABOUT: In 2025 we will rotate 18 galleries in 10 public venues in Clackamas County.
Our focus is on original visual 2D artwork in most mediums, and smaller 3D artwork. Mediums include, but are not limited to: painting (oil, watercolor, acrylic, drawing, encaustic, printmaking, collage, mixed-media, etc.), textiles, ceramics, metal smithing, photography, etc. Some digital artwork may be accepted.
We rotate artwork in a few of our galleries every month of the year. All artwork is to remain on display for full exhibit period, even if it sells. Starting in late 2024 (and ongoing into fall 2025), selected artists will be notified of proposed exhibit opportunities in our AEP venues (that begin January 2025). Exhibits are up 3 or 4 months, depending on venue, and require 6-9 or 10-14 artworks, depending on gallery space.
