April 26- August 4 of 2024.
We are pleased to announce the artists for the Oregon Contemporary Artists’ Biennial. Twenty-three artists will be presenting in the exhibition, programs and performances, or a combination over April 26- August 4 of 2024. The Artists’ Biennial artists are:
Anne Greenwood, Bean Gilsdorf, Bridgette Hickey, Carla Bengtson, daelyn lambi, Epiphany Couch, Horatio Hung-Yan Law, Marcus Fischer, Maxx Katz, Meech Boakye, Megita Denton, Methods Body, Michael Espinoza, Morgan Ritter, Patricia Vázquez Gómez, Rainen Knecht, Sarah Rushford, Srijon Chowdhury, Tyler Stoll, UwU Collective, and Vo Vo.
The Artists’ Biennial is a survey of works by visual and performing artists who are defining and advancing Oregon’s contemporary art landscape. Jackie Im and Anuradha Vikram are the curators of the 2024 Biennial, which is focused on themes of networks, community, care, and support. Rather than a hierarchical approach to artists' works, the curators' goal is to present work that is timely and relevant to the communities of Oregon.

Please S A V E T H E D A T E : July 7th, 2024 -3pm-5, for a related event when the Biennial gallery work will be activated by a collaborative soundscape. I will merge Raymains Blanket Co. textiles with Shapes of Land paper book edition as an experiential narrative and participatory installation to complement the unique fabric book. The work will extend into the community, with a soundscape event hosted at Albina Green.
