Featured Ten from 2025 Pacific Northwest Drawers

This year’s Pacific Northwest Drawers features an exciting mix of fresh talent and returning artists. We’re grateful to Julia Dolan, The Minor White Senior Curator of Photography Portland Art Museum, for lending her time and vision in selecting these remarkable pieces from a highly competitive pool of submissions.

We would like to highlight ten standout works from this year’s cohort that particularly caught her eye. You can view them in person on the wall across the Pacific Northwest Drawers.
