History
Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
In 1975 a group of five young photographers[1]—Robert Di Franco, Craig Hickman, Ann Hughes, Terry Toedtemeier, and Christopher Rauschenberg (son of Robert Rauschenberg)—pooled their resources to start a small gallery on NW Lovejoy Street in Portland Oregon. The gallery relocated several times over the years, to NW Fifth Avenue in 1978, then to NW Hoyt Street in 1987, where it remained for just under twenty years.[2] In 2007 Blue Sky raised $2.7 million[1] and moved into the former North Park Blocks store and warehouse of Daisy Kingdom,[note 1][3] In July 2008 they exhibited the last completed works by Robert Rauschenberg.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
It "has introduced more than 700 emerging and established photographers to the region".[4]
