Call for Art Submissions: 250 Years of Resistance

Call for Art Submissions: 250 Years of Resistance
Portland Jobs with Justice’s 2nd Annual Art Exhibition & Auction

In light of Trump’s simultaneous attack on the arts and gross obsession with a mythological American past, the theme of our 2nd annual art show is 250 Years of Resistance. Ever since European settlers arrived, there has been resistance to those in power.

The list of rebels is long, which is why we wanted to celebrate them through our weeklong gallery show at One Grand Gallery in September. We’re looking for artists who resonate with the theme and artwork in any form that tells the story of resistance.

Submissions can be made via our online form at bit/ly/artwork2025. Submissions are due by August 15, 2025.

Exhibited works will be auctioned off with the proceeds split 50/50 between the artist and Portland Jobs with Justice.
