Opening night reception ft. music by YOITSVO

In the last few years, there has been an upsurge in labor activism, led by workers who want more out of life than what the corporate controlled society has to offer. This September, we will celebrate this new militant working class movement with a gallery exhibition.

DO YOU MAKE ART ABOUT WORKING CLASS STRUGGLE?
We want art that explores themes of rebirth, militancy, and solidarity as they relate to the labor movement.

All entries will be donated to be auctioned off and all proceeds from the auction will go to support the work of Portland Jobs with Justice. Entries are considered tax-deductible as in-kind donations to Portland Jobs with Justice Education Fund, a registered 501(c)3.

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
We are open to artwork in all visual media (2D, 3D, photography, mixed media, digital media, & more).
