THEME
Art plays with perceptions of light, which can challenge viewers with what they see and understand from each piece. Light can go beyond being just functional. It can also be deeply affecting. Uniquely used as both a tool and a subject to create certain effects and to elicit emotion.
Light levels can directly influence our mood and the feeling of atmosphere within artwork. As light works with shadow, it lends a sense of depth; with this, the work can feel complete. We celebrate light and all it can do in its role in art. Show us BRILLIANCE from your perspective.

Why MoPOP?
We’re really glad you’re thinking about joining the team at MoPOP! We believe pop culture is a universal language capable of building connections across a range of people, no matter our differences in race, religion, gender, age, sexual orientation, ability, education, socio-economic status, ethnicity, country of origin, or any other characteristic that makes us who we are. For more than twenty years, we have been showcasing how music, film, fashion, video games, sports, and more spark those connections and create a lasting cultural impact.

The project is funded through the Madison District Green Infrastructure Project, a permeable pavement streetscape project led by the City’s Environmental Services Department, as part of the City’s 1 Percent for Art program which dedicates 1 percent of construction costs from public capital projects to the creation of public art.
Designated as one of 29 Puget Sound Regional Growth Centers, the Tacoma Mall area is slated for significant growth over the next 10 to 15 years. It is also located over the South Tacoma Aquifer, which provides supplemental drinking water for Tacoma.
“With a subarea plan adopted in 2018 and several public investments underway, the Tacoma Mall area is well-positioned for strategic improvements to support a healthy, thriving population center within our city,” said Mayor Victoria Woodards. “With robust public engagement by the selected artists, we strive to further define our community’s vision for the identity and character of this key location.”
Applicants must be 18 years or older, reside in the states of Washington or Oregon, and have demonstrated experience in the specialized area of public art planning. The deadline for submissions is February 8, 2023. Interested artists and/or artist teams are encouraged to attend an optional Zoom info session on January 18, 2023 from noon - 1 PM. Access details to the Zoom info session will be shared on the City’s official social media platforms when available.
Questions or requests for information in alternate formats may be directed to Rebecca Solverson at rebecca.solverson@cityoftacoma.org or (253) 591-5564.

Description
The Seattle Youth Symphony Orchestra invites applications and nominations for the position of Executive Director, available in early 2023.
The Organization
http://www.syso.org
Founded in 1942, Seattle Youth Symphony Orchestra (SYSO) is one of the largest and most highly regarded youth orchestra training programs in North America. The organization creates access to music education for more than 1,800 young people each year and its membership reflects the rich diversity of the greater Seattle community. Through six youth orchestras, two summer festival programs, a conservatory program, and extensive partnerships with public schools and community groups, SYSO creates music engagement opportunities for more than 35,000 young musicians, family members, audience members, and patrons each year.
SYSO’s mission is to harness the power of music education to provide young people with pathways to artistic excellence, intellectual development, and emotional growth. SYSO’s vision is to provide an inclusive and welcoming environment for young people publicly performing in ensembles large and small throughout the greater Seattle area. SYSO envisions a youth orchestra community that advances equitable artistic practices, uplifts all musicians, and provides them with educational experiences connected to their lives and communities.
SYSO enjoys a prestigious reputation as a high caliber orchestra and counts many acclaimed professional musicians among its alumni, including three founding members of the Kronos Quartet. In addition to the Seattle Youth Symphony Orchestra, SYSO includes five training orchestras: the Junior Symphony; the Debut Symphony; the Symphonette; the Prelude String Orchestra; and MY Southwest. SYSO’s newest program, MY Southeast, is an orchestra designed for string and percussion students and is offered without fee to applicants in middle through high school.
In addition to the Seattle Youth Symphony Orchestra and its training orchestras, SYSO provides a wide variety of other opportunities for young musicians. These programs include the SYSO Summer Music day camp and innovative public school partnerships such as the Musical Pathways Project, which provides equitable access to high-quality music instruction to youth from low-income households.
Advanced students can have an intensive musical experience in orchestra and chamber music during SYSO’s nationally recognized two-week summer festival, Marrowstone Music. A merger with the Seattle Conservatory of Music now enables SYSO to encourage, guide, and prepare young musicians who aspire to professional careers.
SYSO is a unique and extraordinarily multifaceted organization. It is similar to a private school with a diverse parent and student base; it is an arts organization with earned income from ticket sales from concerts, events, and festivals; it is akin to a university with an extensive alumni and parent/grandparent network; and it is similar to a youth development organization with a focus on underserved populations.
By awarding more than $100,000 in financial aid annually, SYSO ensures that every talented student from age seven to 22 is able to participate in the program that is right for them, regardless of the student’s financial resources.
SYSO has an operating budget of $2.2 million and is governed by a Board of 15 volunteers that includes professional musicians, educators, and community leaders. Additional support is provided by an active parent association. Juan Felipe Molano has served as Music Director of SYSO since 2019. The Executive Director and the Music Director lead a team of eight staff members, four conductors, and more than 30 music coaches.
The City
Nicknamed “The Emerald City,” Seattle is surrounded with majestic mountains, sparkling bodies of water, and lush greenery year-round. Many say the region’s verdant landscapes and plentiful rain are what drive the innovative spirit of this city. With music, art and culture, Fortune 500 companies, philanthropy, social justice, geo-political initiatives, education, food, coffee, public parks and spaces, engineering, architecture, ferries, island life, and conservation, Seattle continues to be at the epicenter of innovation. Both Forbes and AARP name Seattle one of the top three “Most Livable Large Cities in America.” Seattle’s diverse population of more than 4 million also ranked #2 among “The Most Literate Cities in the Country.” All these qualities and assets make Seattle a great place to live, work, and visit.
Seattle is a city that highly values the intersectionality of the arts, culture, economy, and social impact. Arts and culture generate more than $2.4 billion in economic activity in the state of Washington every year and create more than 35,000 jobs, many of them in Seattle. For more than 80 years, SYSO has been a part of the fabric of the city.
The Position
Reporting to the Board of Directors, the Executive Director provides leadership and vision to ensure that SYSO fulfills its mission and achieves its goals for artistic, educational, organizational, and financial success. The ED is responsible and accountable for all aspects of the organization, including: strategic planning; fundraising; artistic administration; finance and administration; marketing, communications, and public relations; education programs; concert production; human resources; and community engagement. The ED works with the Board and the Music Director to set strategic priorities and ensure the operational success of artistic and educational programming. The ED develops and implements a budget for Board approval and with the Board ensures that the organization has the resources needed to succeed within that budget.
The Executive Director partners with the Music Director and oversees the planning, implementation, and evaluation of all SYSO programs and services. The ED ensures that appropriate operational support is provided to coaches, music staff, and guest artists. The ED fosters an environment that allows the Music Director and artistic staff to do their best work and to provide excellent music education and experiences to all participants in SYSO’s programs.
The Executive Director oversees SYSO’s comprehensive development program in order to achieve revenue growth and sustainability to support program operations, to maintain strong cash reserves, and to build the Board-designated endowment fund. The ED supervises the Director of Development and works with the Development Committee of the Board to establish fundraising and cultivation strategies that advance SYSO’s strategic priorities. In partnership with the Board, Music Director, Development Director, and key stakeholders, the ED works to grow SYSO’s donor base through direct cultivation, solicitation, and stewardship of key donors.
The Executive Director recruits, supervises, motivates, and evaluates a high-caliber administrative staff, ensuring that the hiring and personnel policies are consistent with SYSO’s organization-wide commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. The ED develops and implements annual operating plans to achieve the goals and objectives identified in SYSO’s strategic plan. The ED ensures that SYSO’s technological infrastructure meets the operating needs of the organization.
The Executive Director is a spokesperson and advocate for SYSO throughout the Seattle community. The ED represents SYSO with local and state government, school boards, community organizations, and other arts and cultural organizations throughout the area. The Executive Director is an active participant in the life of the greater Seattle community.

ASSISTANT PRODUCTION MANAGER
About Friends of Waterfront Seattle
Friends of Waterfront Seattle (Friends) is the nonprofit partner to the City of Seattle that is helping to fund, steward, and program a new 20-acre public space along the downtown shoreline. Designed to provide access to the water, green spaces, elevated views, and cultural and recreational opportunities, Waterfront Park will be a place where residents from around the region and visitors from around the world can connect with nature and with one another. Park construction is underway and is scheduled for completion in 2025. The rebuilt Pier 62 opened in the fall of 2020 and is being actively programmed by Friends.
As the nonprofit responsible for sustaining and programming the park in perpetuity, Friends aims to create inclusive spaces for community-driven cultural events, recreational activities, and educational opportunities that feel welcoming and safe for all people—particularly Black and Indigenous people, people of color, and other underserved communities.
Friends recognizes and acknowledges historic and existing systemic racism embedded in our city. We are committed to becoming an anti-racist organization by prioritizing racial equity within the organization and in the public spaces we operate.
Waterfront Park is situated on the land of the Coast Salish peoples, who have resided here since time immemorial and continue to thrive. With respect and humility, we acknowledge the history of the waterfront, the dispossession of land from the Coast Salish people, and, most importantly, the strength and resilience of Native people and their culture through this history and to the present. This acknowledgment serves as only the first step in honoring the land we occupy and the first peoples on that land. We recognize that the work to build and repair relationships with Native communities will be long and evolving.
The Role
The Assistant Production Manager supports the organizational and onsite operational functions of the Public Programs team, ensuring efficiency and consistency in implementing department processes, onsite tasks, and communication. This role also provides logistical support for all internal and external events with various complexities.
Reporting to the Production Manager and a member of the Public Programs team, this position requires continual demonstration of the following core competencies:
Support the Production Manager and Program Leads with all aspects of production for institutionally driven programming and external partners to create high quality events.
Commitment to maintaining an institutional standard for guest experience and level of service.
Ability to build consistent pathways for interdepartmental communication and collaboration. This includes collaboration and coordination with staff, partners, artists, vendors, and other constituencies to ensure successful execution of all events.
This is a new role at Friends that will manage and support all activities planned, with various levels of complexity. This is a high-volume environment where work productivity, efficiency, and effective communication skills are a must.
This position also provides subject matter expertise to departments hosting events or other activations representing Friends of Waterfront.
Responsibilities
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)
Contribute to an inclusive workplace culture; adhere to and help evolve Friends’ Community Agreements.
Propel a culture of inclusion while collaborating cross departmentally within Friends.

Description
The Recology King County Artist in Residence Program (Recology KC AIR) is a unique opportunity for King County artists to expand their existing studio practice by working with reusable resources to create a new and impactful body of work. Modeled after the Artist in Residence Program at Recology San Francisco, Recology KC AIR encourages the conservation of natural resources while inspiring artists to think about habits of consumption, waste, disposal, and sustainability.
Recology KC AIR is a juried program that selects two King County artists for a four-month residency, providing artists with a $1300 monthly stipend, administrative support, studio visits and access to the Recology recovery facility in South Seattle, Recology Stores, and the City of Seattle’s North Transfer Station. On occasion, artists will have the opportunity to speak to school classes and adult tour groups about their experience of working with recycled materials.
At the conclusion of each residency, Recology KC hosts a public exhibition and artist talk at Mutuus Studio in conjunction with the Georgetown Art Attach. Artists contribute one piece of art made during the residency to Recology KC AIR’s permanent collection and the work continues to be exhibited in off-site exhibitions that serve to promote the artists, recycling, and reuse.

Description
4Culture, in partnership with King County Metro, seeks an experienced and motivated planning artist (or team of artists) to participate in a two-year residency during which time they will develop a plan for transit-related public art projects to be implemented over the coming decade.
Artists are change makers and culture bearers. They look closely, recognize connections, express shared values and histories, uncover resources, educate and inspire, challenge ideas, experiment, and create new possibilities.
Metro’s Artist in Residence (AIR) will embody these qualities and act as a creative strategist, working jointly with Metro and 4Culture to expand their collaborative potential and identify opportunities for public art programming. The AIR will receive a 2-year, ½ time contract. 4Culture will issue and oversee the contract.
Year one of the residency will be focused on getting to know Metro and connecting with community — listening, learning, and laying the groundwork for successful relationships going forward. Funding will be made available for related engagement activities.
In year two, the AIR will produce a dynamic and strategic arts plan that describes how the 1% for Art legislation and commissioning process works, introduces ways to maximize available resources, reflects the evolution of transit, embraces the diversity of King County’s histories and cultures, and incorporates project recommendations that are broad enough to allow other artists to generate innovative ideas and approaches, and explicit enough to provide a compelling conceptual framework for artwork development. In addition, the plan should consider established Metro initiatives such as Poetry on Buses and SODO Track, and dovetail with the RapidRide-specific art plan penned by Johnson|Ramirez. All design, production, and distribution costs will be covered by a separate budget.
How to Apply
Artists and artist teams must submit an online application.

In this exhibition, we are seeking work that explores the connection between memory, experience, and perception, and how those elements inspire the creative process.

Request for Proposals
Vinyl Wrap Design for Jackson Street Jazz Trail
(TO VIEW PHOTOGRAPHS REFERENCED IN THE TEXT BELOW, PLEASE EMAIL jazztrail@earshot.org)
OBJECTIVE
The Jackson Street Jazz Sign & Trail Committee seeks graphic design services for a vinyl wrap to cover both sides of the “Roots of Jazz in Seattle” kiosk at the bus stop on the northwest corner of 12th Avenue South and South Jackson Street, in what is now Little Saigon. (See photographs below of the original kiosk and an example of a vinyl wrap on a signal box in Seattle’s Japan Town.) Erected in 2005 to commemorate the hub of the historic Jackson Street Jazz District, where artists such as Ray Charles, Quincy Jones and Ernestine Anderson cut their teeth in the 1940s, the kiosk has suffered from severe weather damage and defacement. The graphic wrap will serve as the first of many visual elements in a projected Jackson Street Jazz Trail from King Street Station to Washington Hall.
SCOPE OF WORK
The metal kiosk is 24” wide by 74” high, with plexiglass plaques measuring 18” wide x 53” high mounted on each side; collages of text and photos lie behind the plexiglass. The wrap must cover both sides and the entire height of the kiosk, not just the plexiglass areas.
The ideal design must be simple, bold and dramatic – something that could be read easily, say, through the window of a passing bus. The design preferably should have a traditional African/African American color scheme, a defining image that suggests this was an important historic site for jazz, and in large type on both sides, a specific reference to the Jackson Street Jazz Trail to come. Please also include space in the design for a QR code that will link to a website about the Jackson Street Jazz Trail.
The committee is not looking for a reproduction of the existing sign, though selected elements of the original text and photographs are welcome. (See below for original text and description of photos).
Payment for the selected design is $1500. (Does not include manufacturing and installation, paid for by the committee.)

February 28, 2023, 11:59p.m. Submission deadline: Letter of interest, work samples/portfolio, resume, sketch

THE ROOTS OF JAZZ IN SEATTLE
This intersection at Jackson St. and 12th Ave. was once the lively hub of Seattle’s after-hours jazz scene, a musical crossroads where in the 1940s Quincy Jones, Ray Charles and Ernestine Anderson, among others, honed their craft. The southeast corner housed the legendary Black and Tan, which opened in 1922 and lasted well into the 1960s, hosting Duke Ellington, Eubie Blake, Louis Jordan and countless other touring bands. On the northeast corner stood the Hill Top Tavern, and at Main St. was the Entertainers Club (later called Sessions), where in 1920 the great New Orleans piano “professor,” Ferdinand “Jelly Roll” Morton once held forth.
Nearby were the Rocking Chair, commemorated in Ray Charles’ “Rocking Chair Blues,” and Washington Hall, where Jimi Hendrix played as a youngster. Down Jackson St. to Pioneer Square, other clubs, such as the Black Elks, Congo Club, Ebony, Ubangi and Chinese Gardens sizzled with the sounds of jazz as well.
We salute the musicians who pioneered Seattle's vibrant jazz tradition in this neighborhood.
In the not too distant past, nightclubs lined Seattle’s Jackson Street and surrounding area where dancing, bootleg liquor and hot jazz were spilling into the streets around the clock. Ray Charles, Quincy Jones, and Ernestine Anderson are just a few artists whose careers were launched on these blocks. Take a jazz scene walking tour. Several of these historic buildings are still standing. After your historical ramble, check out some of today’s local jazz sounds – or if you’re lucky enough to be in town when it’s happening, immerse yourself in the world-class, fringe-friendly, Earshot Jazz Festival.
1) The Black & Tan Club: 404 12th Ave. S. Seattle’s most esteemed and longest-lived jazz nightclub operated from 1922–1966 under various names, and was the backdrop to greats like Duke Ellington, Ray Charles, and Charlie Parker.
2) The Black Elks Club: 662 S Jackson, 662 ½ MISTAKE top floor. A 17 year-old Ray Charles had his first regular gig here in 1948 with Garcia McKee.
3) The Rocking Chair: 1301 E Yesler Way. A raucous place memorialized by Charles’ “Rocking Chair Blues.”
4) The 908 Club: 908 12th Ave. Considered Seattle’s first modern jazz temple, this was where hipsters and bohemians came to listen instead of dance.
5) YMCA, East Madison Branch: 1723 23rd Ave. A venue for some of the best-known names in Northwest jazz and R&B: Dave Lewis, Floyd Standifer, Oscar Holden Sr., Quincy Jones, Ray Charles, Ernestine Anderson.
