Last week, the Ford Family Foundation opened their annual call for three unrestricted $25,000 Hallie Ford Fellowships for mid career Oregon artists in the visual arts. Applications are online only (using the Cafe system), and due by March 15th. Here on PORT we have discussed the first 9 fellows, who are currently on view at the Museum of Contemporary Craft (which everyone should see).

Also, photographers may want to consider this open call from Blue Sky: The Optical. Here is a chance to have your work evaluated by photographer and collector Allan Chasanoff. He is a connoisseur of the "interval of confusion before the image resolves," or images that, "refused to make visual sense, delighting in its resistance and delighting again when that resistance was overcome - a delicious tension and release." No fees, just drop off up to three unmounted prints by March 1st. Details Here.
