Where I Come From: Cultural Heritage Open Show Submissions

Celebrating the Diversity of the Columbia Gorge Through Art 

January 22-March 1

Were you raised on a farm in the Dufur Valley? Maybe you left a childhood in the city for a more rural lifestyle? Did you grow up fishing on the Klickitat? Did your grandparents come from Samoa and pass down their traditions?

​

Heritage and art go hand in hand, and the diverse heritage of the people in the Columbia Gorge community is what makes it so beautiful. We look forward to seeing the different ways that the artists of our community express their cultural and personal history through different mediums and interpretations.

What artwork will be accepted?

All mediums are accepted: paintings, drawings, prints, sculptures, ceramic art, jewelry and textile/fabric arts. This theme is widely open to interpretation. We want to see what makes you "you", whether that be a painting of your homestead or homeland, a depiction of a family tradition, or a historical artistic medium passed down through generations. All works that adhere to the Cultural Heritage theme and are submitted on time with the $20 submission fee will be accepted. 

This is an Open Show with a $20 entry fee (non-juried).

Artists may submit up to 2 pieces for inclusion in the open show.

Paintings or wall art can be up to 4 feet in height and/or width. Sculptures can be submitted for display inside the gallery or in the garden at TDAC. Garden spots are limited.

​

Only one entry fee per artist, not per piece.
