2021 Pacific Northwest Drawers

The 2021 Pacific Northwest Drawers invites photographers who are current residents of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, British Columbia, or Alaska to submit work for consideration. Submissions must consist of exactly 10 images (no watermarks) from a single series or body of work created within the last five years. If previously featured in the Drawers, submissions must be of new or different work. Submitted images must be identical to the original prints intended for inclusion. Artists must include a concise artist statement, CV or resume, and details about each print including print type/medium, size, and price.

If accepted, works must be delivered to the gallery matted, mounted, or protected for handling. Due to physical drawer dimensions, matted or mounted sizes cannot exceed 20" x 24" x 1.5" when stacked together. All prints selected are eligible for sale with the artist's permission, with Blue Sky retaining a 50% commission. Artists currently represented by a gallery must ensure that a Drawers entry does not infringe on standing agreements. Blue Sky will not negotiate commissions with an artist's representation or send commission payments to galleries; artists must make separate arrangements with their representation.

The submission deadline is 10:59 PM (PST) on Monday, January 4, 2021. There is no entry fee, and only one entry per artist is permitted. Accepted artists will be notified no later than February 5, 2021. Accepted works must be received at Blue Sky no later than 5:00 PM on Sunday, March 21, 2021, and will debut in the Drawers to the public in Spring 2021. Jurors include Yaelle S. Amir, curator and researcher, and Aaron Turner, photographer and educator.
