The Paragon Gallery is an educational and community space located in PCC’s Paragon Arts Resource Building along with PCC Cascade’s printmaking studio. We are committed to exhibiting work of high artistic quality and cultural relevance. Mindful of our role as a member of the Humboldt community we are especially interested in proposals that will engage and welcome community members into our space.
The Paragon Gallery will be accepting proposals for installations/exhibitions to occur in 2025-2026, and the deadline will be February 21,2025
*If you are a PCC student, and you wish to participate in future student exhibitions, we will post updated information in Winter/Spring term 2025 for our end-of-the-year exhibition.
Submission proposals are evaluated based on
- conceptual relevance to curricula and to the community surrounding Portland Community College Cascade Campus
- technique and ideation
- dynamically related programming/events
