Current exhibit:
BREAKING Silence
How Art Reflects Our Feelings
Fridays & Saturdays, 1:00 pm - 5:00pm
through May 18th.
Open Sky Art Gallery is the first
Justice-impacted and inspired
Art Venue & Gathering Place
in the Pacific Northwest.
We bring fine art together with the power of trauma
awareness and healing. We are focused on artists and writers
who are or once were incarcerated and
the families of those who are impacted by serious crime.
We show and sell art providing an opportunity for
system-impacted artists to integrate into society,
increase their self worth and heal from trauma.
At the same time, we provide onsite artists’ residencies and community gatherings to build community,
foster engagement, education and social connection.

How Art Reflects Our Feelings
Feedback from Our Artists
Snowflower Thorner's Open Sky Gallery is a venue where miracles happen. Not only were my paintings and dioramas lovingly displayed but my poetry was made available as well.
Furthermore, I played a set of original music at the gallery for an intelligent, attentive audience and it turned out to be one of my best performances of the last forty years.
As a justice-impacted artist, Open Sky Gallery was the ideal space for someone like me to be healed and celebrated.

Hi Jeremiah,
Good news! Your Wood Duck II image has sold! We had an evening event and a woman who is a retired biologist from the Forest Service could not stop admiring your lovely painting.
Her husband snuck over to me and paid me for it as a surprise birthday gift for her.
Congratulations!!
Warmly,
Snow
This is such exciting news! It’s so amazing to me that someone is interested in something I painted to buy it. I’m used to only selling to people I already know here.
So, thank you so much for giving me this opportunity. It’s truly inspiring!
Take care,
J. Scott
Great to feel your excitement.
We’re very happy for you. You deserve it.
Warmly,
Snow
