The Schack Art Center – Present Tense

THE 24TH JURIED EXHIBITION: PRESENT TENSE

May 28, 2026-August 22, 2026 – MAIN GALLERY

Present Tense is the 24th juried exhibition showcasing the depth, range, and innovation happening in contemporary art in the Pacific Northwest. Bringing together diverse artists working across disciplines and media, the exhibition highlights practices that are shaping the landscape of visual arts in our region. The exhibition follows a juried selection process by a panel of arts professionals. We are pleased to announce this year’s jurors are Nancy Loorem Adams, Andrew Vallee, and Christian Waguespack.

The Juried Exhibition is a long Schack tradition that serves to celebrate the confluence of talent in our region, to amplify the artistic perspectives unique to the current moment, and to provide the setting for the public to join the conversation, between artist and viewer, that completes the circuit.
