Blue Sky Gallery is dedicated to public education, began by showing local artists and then slowly expanded to national and international artists.

In 1975 a group of five young photographers[1]—Robert Di Franco, Craig Hickman, Ann Hughes, Terry Toedtemeier, and Christopher Rauschenberg (son of Robert Rauschenberg)—pooled their resources to start a small gallery on NW Lovejoy Street in Portland Oregon.

[2] In 2007 Blue Sky raised $2.7 million[1] and moved into the former North Park Blocks store and warehouse of Daisy Kingdom,[note 1][3] In July 2008 they exhibited the last completed works by Robert Rauschenberg.

[citation needed] It "has introduced more than 700 emerging and established photographers to the region".
