Event Information

Interested in submitting your photography for exhibition at Portland Japanese Garden? The Garden Gallery is currently open for submissions to be considered for exhibition.

Every season provides occasions for inspiration and reflection in nature. We are honored to have the opportunity to showcase the art of our own community in the Garden Gallery, a hallway gallery space in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.

Members with Photography Member benefits interested in submitting their work for consideration may send 7–10 high-resolution images, along with:

  • brief artist statement (3000 characters max)
  • biographical statement (2000 characters max)

Submissions must be received by 11:59 pm on Monday, August 31, 2026.

The selection team will review all portfolios and will be in touch should your work be selected, including potential exhibition dates and a contract for review. Due to space and timing constraints, exhibition opportunities cannot be offered to all applicants. If your work is not selected or if you miss this submission window, additional calls for submission will be offered in the future.

Learn more and submit your work here. 

On view now is A Second Look: Photography by Doug Rundle, through October 26, 2026. Rundle is a Photographer Member who submitted work for consideration in the Spring 2026 Call for Photography.
