Open Sky Gallery: Dignity, Justice & Well-being through Art is proud to announce the launch of a national exhibit of museum quality photography and art. Photography from Jan LaFontaine portraying women ages 19 - 95 who have overcome previous abuse in their lives. LaFontaine, a former social worker, collaborated with each woman to create an uplifting portrait showing how they have risen above abuse.
Two regional artists' paintings work in a complementary manner to highlight this powerful show.

Our Vision
Open Sky Art Gallery is the first Art Venue and Gathering Place in the Pacific Northwest to focus on dignity and wellbeing through the Arts.
We bring fine art together with the power of trauma awareness and healing.
Our community gallery is focused on artists, writers and musicians who have used The Arts to rise above trauma. We want people to see that trauma is okay to talk about.
By showing art and poetry, holding concerts, artist talks and community gatherings, we are providing a unique opportunity for artists of all modalities.
Our gallery is also poised to provide onsite artists’ residencies and gatherings to build community, foster engagement, education and social connection.
