Portland Nursery was so happy to host us last year during the Holiday Sale that we planned a Summer Sale in 2024.

Portland Nursery, open since 1907 is a large full service nursery, easy to get to on the eastside of PDX with plenty of customer parking.

They will help us promote our event via their website, email list, social media sites and regular customers.

This sales event is open to all members in good standing. Registration is first come, first served on the OPA website. You may sell any original work created by you from ceramic clay. Any mixed media work, must be predominantly made of clay.

Cost of this event per space:

$50 to OPA + 10% of sales for the nursery.

10% of each artist's sale will be paid directly to Portland Nursery at the end of the day on Sunday. An OPA member will get information from each artist to calculate total sales and provide a receipt for the payment to Portland Nursery.

We will be inside one of their large greenhouses. There are 38 10' wide x 6' deep spaces available. You are welcome to share your space with another member, but include their name & email contact when you register so all participants are being promoted.

Participants need their own indoor display set up, point of sale system & wrap materials.

The greenhouse is high ceilinged, has a concrete floor, and will protect us from rain. There's good ventilation!

Set up will happen early Friday morning, July 12 at 7 am

At the time of registration members need to pay their $50 fee and submit 3 high quality images of their current work for use in promotion.

$50 fee is non-refundable if you are accepted into the show and later withdraw

Participants need to help promote the event through their

personal social media accounts, distributing postcards

and emailing their customer email list.

Load in and load out will be with carts from the main parking area in front of the business. 

We hope you'll participate as we build

this new annual event.
