The Left Coast a survey of artists from California Oregon and Washington looks like a great way for some of Portland's strong art scene to introduce itself to the Bay Area. At the Marin Society of Artists it is juried by Lauren O'Connell of the Berkley Art Museum. Unfortunately there is a fee $35-55. Deadline 8/1/2015

Three years ago PORT was the first to tell you about the innovative Precipice Fund and its mission to support alternative types of art projects in Oregon. Recently we reviewed one Precipice Funded project, Make Yourself At Home, which explored rent and debt... things that don't "score well" on grant panels but are very important. Well it is already time for round 3 of the Precipice Fund. Deadline 8/17/2015 but there are several workshops starting in May to help you make a stronger proposal.
