To celebrate its 44th birthday, Blue Sky launched a two-part exhibition series, Blue Sky Ahead, which began with October's exhibition of current and past photographic work by founders Ann Hughes, Christopher Rauschenberg, Craig Hickman, Robert Di Franco and Terry Toedtemeier. 

This month, Blue Sky presents the second half of the exhibition series, Blue Sky Ahead: Futures. From a statewide call to photo-based artists, Blue Sky's founders chose six individuals to represent the next generation of Oregon photographers: Ebenezer Galluzzo, Emma Kisiel, Jamila Clarke, Nolan Streitberger, Sam Wrigglesworth and Troi Anderson. Although these photographers work with the medium in very different ways to tell a range of stories, they are linked by their use of the camera to reframe or question our past and present cultural norms, as they expand our understanding of what has come before, what is and what could be.

Blue Sky Ahead is made possible by a generous grant from The Ford Family Foundation.
