Blue Sky Blue Sky is a nonprofit exhibition space and community research center dedicated to educating the public about photography through exhibitions, public programs, and publications. Founded as the Oregon Center for the Photographic Arts by a group of five young photographers in 1975, Blue Sky became an established venue for local photography. Over the course of three decades, the organization expanded its offerings to include national and international artists, many of whom exhibited at Blue Sky early in their careers. Blue Sky's special mission continues to be the exhibition of emerging and established artists that exemplify the finest in photographic vision and innovation. As such, Blue Sky has earned the accolade as having the best record of discovering new photographers of any artists' space in the country.
