Black artists living in Oregon are invited to participate in a salon-style group exhibition presented by Art in Oregon at Studio 516 in Portland’s Pearl District in June–July 2026. 

The goal of this exhibition is to expand the BLACK MATTER Family by welcoming emerging and established artists to share work in a vibrant, salon-style show celebrating the breadth of Black artistic voices in Oregon today.
