Description
ArtsWest seeks artists of ALL AGES to exhibit their artwork in the C-shaped Gallery that is also the lobby of the theater. It is the mission at ArtsWest to produce artistic events that provoke conversation, incite the imagination, and use live theater as a powerful agent of change. We are seeking artwork that enhances our 2025-2026 theater season entitled Between Us.
We are a theatre and gallery in West Seattle. Our goal is to marry what is on stage and what is in the gallery to allow our community to experience the themes, ideas, and cultural identities through 2 mediums: visual art & performance. This is
not to say that the visual art should draw direct parallels to the theatrical productions, but inherently compliments it through the programming of the gallery.
ABOUT THE THEATRICAL SEASON: In times of uncertainty, our greatest strength lies not in solitude, but in solidarity. Between Us is a season of five bold, contemporary plays that explore the invisible threads that bind us — the responsibilities we bear for one another, the debts of care we carry, and the lifelines we extend in moments of crisis.
These stories, rich in humor, heartache, and humanity, ask what we truly owe each other — as friends, as family, as neighbors, and as strangers finding connection in unexpected places.
We are able to accommodate all wall-mounted visual art & small space for ceramics and sculpture. No video installations.

The Gallery at Graphite Arts Center (Edmonds, WA) is seeking artwork for the upcoming exhibition ‘Tools: Form and Function’
About the exhibit
We use tools to do nearly everything. To eat we need a fork. To sleep we need a bed. Without changing themselves, tools are the implements that incite change, i.e. the fork moves the food. A tool can keep working as long as it has materials to work on. Tools can be as old as the concept of using tools, or they can be new inventions of futuristic design. The exhibit Tools: Form and Function looks at the foundational objects and implements we rely on every day, re-imagined through artistic interpretation. A creative response to the idea of “tools” is encouraged over literal illustration.
