Gallery 114 is a self-governing community of artists. To ensure our freedom from commercial pressures, we depend on our member artists to contribute their time, talent and dues. Every member can expect a featured exhibit every 18-24 months, as well as inclusion in the annual Member Exhibit and Holiday show. We have two gallery spaces, North (larger) and South galleries. The featured artist(s) have complete control over the North or South gallery spaces during the month of their show, and can choose to curate, invite guest artists, or use the space for their own work. In addition, we host Calls for Art, Invitationals, and special community exhibits. The gallery retains a 20% commission on sales by members (far less than most commercial galleries). Since the gallery exists to further our artistic careers, we encourage our members to also exhibit in other venues. We are always willing to consider portfolio submissions.
Gallery 114 is committed to recruiting artist members who represent a broad diversity of the greater community of artists. We encourage artists with diverse backgrounds to apply for membership.
Our purpose is to Provide Cooperating Artists and Guest Artists the opportunity to create and exhibit largely free of commercial considerations, thereby affording them an exceptionally high degree of artistic freedom and exposing the Oregon public to art that might otherwise never be exhibited.
