LightBox Photographic Gallery recognizes the Northwest photographic community for their incredible talent in the “PNW 40 Exhibit”.

This group exhibit opens with an artists’ reception on Saturday, April 13th, from 5-8 pm.

In recognition of Portland Photo Month, April 2019, this group exhibit celebrates the photographic talent of the Pacific Northwest. For the last 7 years the exhibit celebrated the Portland Photographic Community combining great work from the Portland community. This year, we have opened the Exhibit to the entire Pacific NorthWest for the PNW 40. The exhibit combines work from emerging photographers with that of established and known photographers from the Region. One image each from 40 photographers have been chosen, images which stand out and uniquely exhibit the vision and creativity of the photographer.

LightBox is very pleased to have Terry Novak as Juror for the first PNW 40 Exhibit. Terry is the new Executive Director at Photographic Center Northwest, an education institution dedicated to the photographic arts, located in Seattle, WA. Her current work focuses on partnerships, grants, public programs, and exhibitions that foster financial support and resources for photographers and the photographic arts in the Pacific Northwest. Novak received her BFA in photography from Columbia College Chicago, and MFA in arts administration from Seattle University. She has an affinity for color analog photography and alternative processes.
