In the Deep End is a juried exhibit for artists that take risks. If you plunge into uncharted territory and venture to frontiers in your practice, we want to see the results!

 Located in The Pearl, Portland’s gallery district and nightlife playground, Gallery 114 is one of the most established artist collectives in the Northwest. Our motto is “expect the unexpected,” and so, in July 2023, we turn our gallery over to the innovative artists like you, who break barriers, test boundaries, and bravely dive into their personal terra incognita.

At Gallery 114, you can “expect the unexpected” because we are artist owned, artist run and artists unleashed.  We encourage our members as well as jury participants to take risks and explore new and different creative efforts with underlying quality and integrity. We encourage emerging and established artists to apply.

This exhibit will be opening on First Thursday, July 6,2023, 5-8 pm.  It will be open to the public Thursday-Sunday, 12-5 throughout the month.  It will also be accessible to view on our website- www.gallery114pdx.com
