The Gallery is not currently accepting unsolicited submissions for the 2024-25 program.

The Betty Feves Memorial Gallery is a non-profit exhibit space connecting emerging and established artists and their work with students, staff, and the general public in Eastern Oregon. We are committed to exhibiting work of high artistic quality that aligns with our Guiding Principles.

Our Guiding Principles are:

• We choose exhibits that seek to educate viewers.
• We choose exhibits that reflect the diversity of the world outside our local community.
• We provide opportunities for exchange between artists and students.
• We encourage emerging artists in their professional development.
• We provide an environment where artists can explore experimental and non-conventional art and art forms.
• We provide an opportunity for people of all ages to visit BMCC and see higher education as part of their lives.

Proposals for exhibitions are evaluated on the basis of artistic quality, alignment with our Guiding Principles, and the variety of the exhibition schedule.  The following academic year’s schedule is determined by the middle of the current year. To apply for an exhibition, please send 10 high quality digital images of your work along with an image list (with the artist’s name, title, medium, dimensions and date of completion), a resume and letter of interest. Submissions can be emailed to nblasser@bluecc.edu.

Please note that artists are responsible for the cost of shipping and/or transporting their work to and from the gallery and for their own travel expenses. The Gallery provides publicity, including postcards and posters, and also hosts an Opening Reception. A $300 artist honorarium has been made available for solo exhibitions starting in the 2021-2022 school year to help cover some of the costs associated with showing artwork. Artists are expected to participate in at least one event on campus to engage with students & the public (e.g. talking at the opening, and speaking with students).
