Entry Fee: Free

Our next 50th anniversary online exhibition open call invites you to step inside the spaces we’ve built and grown. The House & Garden Show revisits the theme from the original show in 1986. From intimate interiors and quiet domestic moments to wild backyards and cultivated landscapes, we are looking for diverse interpretations of shelter and nature: literal, abstract, or imaginary.

We encourage you to submit up to three images connecting the theme “The House & Garden” by Fri, May 15 at 4:59 PM (PT). The show will be published on Thu, Jun 4, 2026. Show us how you see the places we call home, and the life that surrounds them.

In October 1975, five unemployed but passionate photographers envisioned a $40/month, 125 sq ft storefront as a space to exhibit photography. 50 years and more than 1,000 solo exhibitions and 60 group shows later, Blue Sky Gallery is celebrating its legacy with a new online exhibition series: 12 themed online open calls, one for each month of our 50th anniversary year.
