Photo Show

Hello photographers! We will begin accepting your work for our photo show starting Tuesday, July 19th during our regular business hours of Tuesday-Saturday, 11-5. The show will run from August 2nd through September 3rd. Even in you are not exhibiting, come down and admire the community submissions and vote for your favorite. We will announce a People’s Choice winner at the end of the show. This is a community event, all are welcome to join in, and it’s free to enter.

Things to remember:

  • The theme is Life in Black and White, so we are only accepting black and white photos for this show.
  • Prints must be ready to hang. They can be canvas, metal, acrylic, or framed. If they are framed, we strongly recommend wire hangers on the back.
  • We would like a maximum of two entries per person, please.

We will have a reception August 5th from 4-7, coinciding with Lebanon Downtown Association’s First Friday event. The photo show will run through the month of August. Please bring your friends and family down during this time to see your work hanging in the gallery.

We are located at 605 Main St. in downtown Lebanon, Oregon. If you have questions, call us at 541-497-0386.
