Your Northwest Artist Showcase

Founded in 1986, the Elsinore Gallery has evolved to become a vital part of the Willamette Valley art scene.  We are committed to bringing both new and established artists to the Willamette Valley through our monthly shows and  Featured Artist opportunities.

Artist Opportunites:

Starting in March of 2024, the gallery will welcome the new Artists In Action Gallery into the main gallery space at the store. We see this as the next step in the evolution of the gallery and also for the group. We have worked with AIA for over 20 years and host three juried shows for them each year.

The new gallery will feature AIA members who are juried into the co-op by committee. Artists can sign up as sitting artists who participate in running the day to day operation of the gallery or they can opt in for other committee work as part of their commitment to the group. There are a variety of options and levels of involvement and consignment through this new opportunity.

1. Monthly Changing Shows- Gallery 444

2. Featured Artist Showcase

3. Group Showings & Annual Events

4. Artist In Action Gallery

1. Monthly Changing Exhibits:

The gallery has a long-standing tradition of presenting monthly, changing art exhibits in Gallery 444.  These include solo exhibits, group shows and invitational juried events,  hosted by the gallery and other art groups.

Gallery 444 shows usually include 20-40 artworks and are scheduled up to one-year in advance.  Artists and art groups are encouraged to submit ideas for exhibits to the gallery via e-mail or by contacting the Gallery Manager.



2. Featured Artist Showcase

Local and Northwest Artists’ Gallery

     In our adjacent art spaces, we feature up to 10 local and Northwest artists as part of our ever-changing display called the Featured Artist Showcase. We began this program about 8 years ago and it has grown to be one of our most popular attractions.

Artists enter work for two-month periods and may include 10-25 artworks(dependent on art sizes). Display spaces will vary in the gallery with availabilty.



We make it easy for you to get involved…

If you are interested in participating as a featured artist, we’ve simplifed the process to make it even easier:

1. Submit your art images by e-mail (or links to your website) by clicking the E-mail button provided.

2. Let us know whether you are interested in the showcase or a one-month show.

We will get back to you and let you know when the next showcase or featured show opportunity is available.

3. Fill out a consignment form with titles, media and retail prices.

Once we have our dates set, we will need a one-page artist biography/statement and images of the artwork you intend to bring in. We will let you know when to bring in your art and include you in our opening reception information for that month.

Please note:
Our Showcase program is set up for 3- month terms. Artists are welcome to exchange artworks in their displays during the 3-month period. These programs may be renewed after the initial term(providing there is adequate space). New Featured Artists are introduced at our monthly event openings and artists are encouraged to attend our gallery events.


Other Opportunities for Artists:

Juried Group Showings:

     As part of out regular show season, we host several juried shows.  These shows are a great way to get involved in the gallery without the pressure or quantity demands of a showcase spot or a solo exhibit.

We also work closely with groups like Artists in Action, hosting juried shows with them and other local art and charitable groups.

Annual Events:

Some of our juried exhibits and community shows have become yearly traditions for the gallery. Included in our schedule are:

  • Paint the Town – Artists in Action-October
  • Annual Miniature Show
  • May Flowers
  • Invitational Photography Exhibit
  • Capital Calligraphers
  • Something Red – Artists in Action-December
  • Spring Art Show with AIA.-April


FRAMING FOR ARTISTS: 

We offer our local artists special framing incentives not available to the general public. We realize that quality framing for your creations can be quite expensive and we will work with your budget and design needs to make sure that your artwork is framed properly without breaking the bank.

For information on these framing programs, pick up an artist resource packet in the gallery or contact the gallery via e-mail to have us send you more info.
