FILTER; Benefit Auction Preview Exhibition Opening

FILTER; Benefit Auction Preview Exhibition
September 14 - October 11, 2026
Artist reception: Saturday, November 19th, 3-5pm (many of the artists will be in attendance!)

Every photograph is shaped by a filter—a choice of perspective, light, and intention. At PCNW, our community is the filter through which creativity flourishes, new voices emerge, and meaningful connections are made. Presenting a preview of this year’s auction artwork, the exhibition sparks conversation across generations, styles, and genres. From intimate portraiture, quiet landscapes, and documentary photography to high-energy rock and roll and tactile alternative processes, the collection of images highlights a vibrant spectrum of artists. Every piece tells a story, and every bid on October 16th supports PCNW and the unique photographic ecosystem we all exist in.

We are thrilled to announce that exhibiting artist Claire Garoutte will be joining us for an exclusive book signing! She will be signing copies of her new release, Cuba, On a Given Day (2025, Kehrer Verlag Heidelberg), co-produced with Anneke Wambaugh.

Don't miss this opportunity to meet Claire and other featured artists from the exhibition, discuss their work, and pick up a signed copy.
