Painting by Jonathon Lietz, ORA member

CALL TO ARTISTS- JUNE 1 Deadline

May 2013

ORA: Northwest Jewish Artists is a collective of local Jewish artists.  We are pleased to announce that we will jury new guest artists for our annual autumn fine art & fine craft show, A Celebration of Art 2013.  In addition to our regular members, we are pleased to include the work of a limited number of guest artists each year.

This year’s Celebration of Art will take place on Sunday, November 3^rd in the beautiful Ballroom of Mittleman Jewish Community Center in Southwest Portland.  We hope you will submit samples of your artwork to be juried for inclusion in this year’s art & fine craft show.  Our anonymous jury panel is comprised of professional artists, instructors, and occasionally gallery owners.

Only ORA members and their juried guests will have the opportunity to show and sell their work. This will be an arts show, not a holiday bazaar or craft fair.  We wish to feature the best artwork local Jewish artists are producing.  Although we will feature Jewish artists, the artwork need not reflect a Jewish theme.

There is a $25 jury fee for guest artists. Payment of the jury fee should be a check made payable to ORA, and should accompany your application, which must be received by 

June 1, 2013.   The jurying of guest art will take place on Sunday, June 9, 2013 at Congregation Neveh Shalom in Portland.  Art samples are to be delivered and retrieved in person on that day; only out-of-town artists may submit photos instead.  Please see the Jury Application online for detailed information and instructions:
