WELCOME TO GALLERY X
Gallery X elevates both emerging and established artists within the Portland community. Throughout the year, we curate a diverse range of open-call shows; each centered around themes designed to encourage artists to experiment and step beyond their comfort zones. While the ADX team curates most shows, we welcome proactive artists to propose fresh concepts for community involvement. We also offer gallery rentals for artists who want to curate their own shows.
Gallery X functions as an extension of ADX’s core mission, which revolves around breaking down barriers to artistic expression. Our open calls are operated on a zero-commission basis, and Gallery X firmly supports an artist-centric model where they can receive the entirety of the proceeds from their artwork.
ADX provides expertise, marketing, and promotions of the shows, coordination of food, beverages, and live music for First Fridays, and complete curation of the show. We have over 17.2k followers on Instagram and over 3000 contacts that receive our newsletter.
We kindly ask all participating artists to pay a nominal entry fee or substrate fee and to consider supporting the gallery by hosting gallery hours during the exhibition's duration, assisting with First Friday logistics, or any other activity that increases the visibility of the show by the general public.
We do regular calls to artists, including our Summer Skate Deck Show, Faux Show, Community Colab, Playing the Cards, and more! so make sure to add your name to our artist call list and follow us on instagram.
Gallery X is open to the public First Fridays from 5-9pm.
Gallery hours by appointment.
