Oregon Contemporary Artists’ Biennial is a survey of works by visual and performing artists who are defining and advancing Oregon’s contemporary art landscape. The exhibition is supplemented by a series of interdisciplinary programming and events.

The Price of the Ticket will explore the interconnected themes of place, power, and promise, especially as they relate to our complex relationships with the land, our histories, and our nations. It will act as a response to the 250-year anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. Since its signing, there have been long and violent battles over who is considered a citizen and therefore granted rights and protection under the law. Often the most vulnerable of us are left to reconcile the disparities between ideal and reality.
