Blue Sky Gallery is a non-profit "exhibition and explication space", "community research center", and archive for contemporary photography in Portland, Oregon. It grew to become a "preeminent West Coast venue where emerging photographers with 21st-century technologies." A non-profit space dedicated to public education, Blue Sky Gallery began by showing local artists and then slowly expanded to national and international artists. It "has introduced more than 700 emerging and established photographers to the region" and has been an early supporter of now-notable photographers such as John Divola, Robert Frank, Nan Goldin, Mark Klett, and Larry Sultan, among others.HistoryIn 1975 a group of five young photographers pooled their resources to start a small gallery.In 2007 Blue Sky raised $2.7 million and moved into the former North Park Blocks store and warehouse of Daisy Kingdom, In July 2008 they exhibited the last completed works by Robert Rauschenberg.

We bring creative writing workshops to hospitals, schools, homeless youth shelters, senior centers, low income apartments, prisons, social service agencies and treatment facilities. Nearly 500 adults and youth participate in these workshops each year. Workshops culminate in community readings and three beautifully designed books annually. We also offer unique generative writing workshops for new and seasoned writers who want to participate in our workshops and support the communities we traditionally serve. We offer two workshops with an associated fee: Prompt at Powell's City of Books and twice monthly workshops at HOTLIPS Pizza.
For nearly 30 years, ALF Oregon has been joining and connecting leaders from the private, public and nonprofit sectors to work more collaboratively for the common good in communities and throughout the state.
Why Geezer? Why would a fine arts gallery choose a name that conjures images of a grumpy old guy sitting on the front porch hollering, “get off my lawn”? Why use a moniker that brings to mind other harsh “z” words like gizzard, lizard, buzzard...? Wouldn’t it be better business - not to mention better manners - to choose a less offensive label than The Geezer Gallery? Well, maybe. Besides being cleverly alliterative, Geezer Gallery is intended to be provocative. We want to provoke conversation and new ways of thinking about what it means to be an aging or “older” person in today’s world. We encourage people of all ages to engage in a dialogue about what a “geezer” is or can be. A geezer in the U. K. is just a guy, the kind of fellow you might choose as a friend. (Prince William has been described as a “fine geezer.”) But in the U.S., geezer generally describes an old person - crotchety, slow-moving, and annoyingly no longer young. Male or female, “those old geezers” are perceived as a drain on society’s resources, a group whose productive days are long past. Rather than a term of derision, we seek to redefine geezer as a term of strength, empowerment, and perhaps even endearment. Instead of a pejorative, geezer can become a rallying cry for all of us, regardless of chronological age, to embrace the creative forces which reside within. Unleash the Geezer!

Willamette Week’s Give!Guide is Portland’s easiest path to year-end giving. G!G showcases small, medium and large organizations whose missions fall into eight categories: Animals, Civil & Human Rights, Creative Expression, Community, Education, Environment, Health & Wellness and Human Services. In thirteen years, G!G has raised over $16 million for hundreds of local nonprofits. Last year, WW readers gave $3,501,400 to 143 Portland organizations and the Oregon Cultural Trust. The original intent of WW’s Give!Guide was to hook young readers on the year-end giving habit. Today, readers 35 and under provide 30% of the donations. G!G also honors four Portlanders 35 and under who do fabulous work for local nonprofits by awarding them the Skidmore Prize. Winners must work at a local nonprofit, be 35 and under, and earn $40,000 a year or less. G!G makes giving fun for donors by offering incentives no matter how much they give, $10 or $25,000, or anything in between. We provide coupons good for free cups of coffee, pastries, and tacos for every donor, as well as home delivery of thank you bags by City of Roses Media Company’s owners, Richard Meeker and Mark Zusman, for those who give more than $5,000.
