A lasting tribute for Susannah Kelly

In 2012, artist Susannah Kelly co-founded Antler & Talon Galleries in Portland, Oregon. For more than a decade she was a pillar of the art scene in the city and beyond, helping artists develop their careers as well as bringing them together as a community within the spaces she lovingly built and curated.

In the summer of 2023, Susannah passed away. It was both sudden and devastating to everyone who loved her.

As we mourn her loss, our hope is to honor her beautiful spirit and continue her legacy of providing a platform for emerging artists through The Susannah Kelly Art Award.

Susannah’s husband and gallery partner, Neil Perry, is facilitating this award. Applications for 2024 are now open, but it is our goal to ensure this will endure for decades to come.

Your support can make a tremendous difference in achieving this goal. Any contribution, whether big or small, will be greatly appreciated. Here are some ways you can help:
