SOIL is currently accepting applications for new members!
Deadline: Monday September 21st, 11:59PM PST
Founded in 1995, SOIL is a not-for-profit cooperative space established, supported and
operated by local artists. SOIL exists as an alternative venue for artists to exhibit,
develop, and advance their work, and is committed to exhibiting and celebrating art of
diverse artists’ backgrounds, media and content.
Our first open call in over two years, SOIL is looking forward to welcoming new folks into our membership. This year's upcoming gallery programming is supporting dozens of artists from across the country. New members will have the opportunity to participate in shows in Seattle, Los Angeles, and Hansville, Washington. We’ve revised our membership process to acknowledge inequities from previous calls for entry and in the spirit of removing barriers, we are waiving membership dues for incoming BIPOC members.
We look forward to the influx of energy that always comes with welcoming new members. BIPOC and LGBTQ2+ artists are strongly encouraged to apply. Every SOIL member has 1-2 jobs to help the gallery and collective run. We are looking for new members who have experience with (or are open to learning about) finances and/or grant writing to help fill vacancies in those teams. If this is you, apply! If this is not you, still apply!
Unfortunately, our membership cannot accommodate currently enrolled students.
The responsibilities of membership:
• Gallery sitting once per month
• Meetings every other Monday (in-person & online) from 7-9pm
• Job to help run the gallery
• Shepherding exhibitions
• Donate to quasi-annual auction
• $35/mo Dues (waived for BIPOC members)
The perks of membership:
• Participate in an artist run co-op style gallery whose mission is to support and uplift other artists and creatives alike
• Solo exhibition in the Backspace Gallery once every 2 years
• Occasionally participate in traveling exhibitions with the SOIL membership
• Build/support the larger arts community
The best way to learn what being a SOIL member is like is to connect with the membership. Reach out to: gallery@soilart.org for conversation and questions. Or (even better) stop by the gallery during our open hours (Fri-Sun 12-5) to talk with a member sitting the gallery.
Please keep in mind...
Our review process has two parts: 1. we hold an in-person meeting with our current membership to review applications 2. The few artists/curators who make it through the first round will participate in an in-person group interview after which acceptance of membership will be announced.
Accepted members will be notified no later than early October.

Description
Green sits at the psychological midpoint of the color spectrum, and the eye processes it with the least strain of any hue. It's tied to safety, stability, and growth, though it can just as easily tip into envy or unease. That range makes it one of the more emotionally loaded colors artists can work with. Show us your version of GO GREEN.
JPEGs due by Friday, November 20, 2026, at midnight MST. Over $1,200 in cash prizes. All accepted pieces will be displayed in our online gallery at www.art-fluent.com. Visit www.art-fluent.com/calls-for-art/go-green-prospectus/ for a full prospectus.

Description
Jack Straw Cultural Center is now accepting applications for the 31st year of the Jack Straw Writers Program, with Curator Harold Taw.
The purpose of the Jack Straw Writers Program is to introduce writers to the medium of recorded audio; to develop their presentation skills for both live and recorded readings; to encourage the creation of new literary work; to present the writers and their work to the public; and to build community among writers.
Participating writers are presented in live readings, in the printed Jack Straw Writers Anthology; and on the web and radio. Each year an invited curator selects the participating writers from a large pool of applicants based foremost on artistic excellence. Writers receive training in vocal presentation, performance, and microphone technique to prepare them for public readings, interviews, and studio recording. Their recorded readings and interviews with the curator are then used to produce programs for SoundPages, our literary podcast, and for selected radio broadcast.
The Writers Program requires participants to be on-site at Jack Straw Cultural Center for a number of small-group activities, such as an introductory orientation, workshops for microphone/voice technique and live performance, in-studio interview session with the program curator, and live readings - pending any necessary adjustments due to COVID-19 or other emergencies. Most of these activities take place between January and June. Additional Writers Program readings will take place around the community throughout the year, including a final reading with all of the writers in November. Work appearing in the Jack Straw Writers Anthology may not be previously published material, and any subsequent publication of this work must acknowledge the Jack Straw Writers Program.
Selection Process: Writers Program applications are evaluated and awarded by an invited curator. The curators change each year. All applicants will be notified of the results in writing. Please allow at least five weeks after deadline dates for the review and notification process to be completed. The first Writers Program mandatory meeting will take place in January 2027.
The 2027 Writers Program Curator is Harold Taw. Harold is a playwright, novelist, and multi-form writer. A 2011 Jack Straw Writing fellow, his debut novel was Adventures of the Karaoke King (Lake Union Publishing 2011). His short stories, essays, and plays have featured on NPR, in a New York Times bestselling anthology, in literary journals and podcasts, and in The Seattle Times; his screenplay Dog Park was a 2023 LA LGBTQ+ Film Festival winner. With The 5th Ave Theatre’s Writers Group, Harold wrote the book for two musicals: Persuasion (2015), based on Jane Austen’s final novel; and original one-act The Missed Connections Club (2014). Persuasion had its world premiere at Taproot Theatre Company in 2017 and its California premiere at Lamb's Players Theatre in 2018. He wrote the book and lyrics for In a Better World: a Multiverse Musical, which had a staged reading funded by 4Culture, and the original play C[Y]PHER, which had a staged reading funded by City of Seattle and presented by Infinity Box Theatre Project. C[Y]PHER will have its world premiere produced by Pork Filled Productions in August 2027.
Selection Criteria: The Writers Program typically receives a hundred or more applicants, from which 12 writers are selected. Curator selections will be based primarily upon the excellence of the work represented in the support materials provided by the applicant, with the goal of curating a demographically and stylistically diverse group of writers who will work together well as a group.

Description
Over the past year and a half, the U.S. cultural sector has faced immense pressure to limit programs and materials that address themes disfavored by the current U.S. government administration—impacting art museums and galleries, science and history museums, even national treasures like the Smithsonian Institution.
Executive orders guiding federal agency practices and a list of over 300 blacklisted words compiled in government memos, claim to forbid (or at least implicitly discourage) a range of ideas and subjects including but not limited to: race, gender, critical views of US history, environmentalism, and activism. Though these instructions technically apply only to federal agencies, they have nonetheless contributed to a tense atmosphere that has left many curators and museum directors questioning whether and how to continue existing programs, apply for funding, and promote their activities.
This year’s curatorial workshop, Curating from the Blacklist, invites curators to discuss challenges, strategies, and responses to curating works exploring themes discouraged by the current administration. Discussions will be led by Clement Hanami (Japanese American National Museum), Alisha Kerlin (The Marjorie Barrick Museum at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas), and Hamza Walker (The Brick), and John D. Spiak (Grand Central Art Center).
How to Apply
Application process
The workshop is open to curators and artistic directors- both independent and those working within institutions. In the application, each participant must submit:
A brief statement of interest;
A case study proposal example that relates to the workshop’s themes. (Three case studies from applicants will be examined in the workshop.)
The applicant’s relevant experience.
Applicants will be notified of their acceptance by the end of the day on September 16, 2026. Upon acceptance, confirmed participants must remit a non-refundable workshop fee of $85.

Description
The term “teaching artist” is intentionally non-specific; we aim to include visual artists of all disciplines who teach in addition to their artistic practice, and consider teaching to be an essential element of their practice, whether by design or out of necessity. Allied Arts Foundation acknowledges and appreciates the special work and contributions of teaching artists, who share their talent and energy to pass on technical skills, methodologies, and ways of seeing and living. All forms of teaching are supported, including K-12, community art programs, and higher education; as long as applicants consider teaching a meaningful component of their artistic practice, they are welcome to apply.
The Allied Arts Foundation will award $5,000.00 unrestricted grants
to three artists. This award is intended to facilitate artistic growth and experience.
The Allied Arts Foundation seeks to encourage emerging artists and will limit
awards to teaching artists in an early or mid-career stage, whose work is not currently represented by commercial galleries and/or in major museum exhibitions and collections.
Applicants should submit images and materials that demonstrate both their artistic practice and their teaching experience. Educational materials can include programs, syllabi, lesson plans, and examples of student work. Please be prepared to
provide three professional references or letters of support if requested.
Applicants must be 18 or older, must live in Washington State and must not be currently enrolled in
an educational institution as a student.
Your submissions are welcome whether instruction and discourse are defining components of your art practice, or you collaborate with the intention of teaching and learning from your students. A teaching certificate is not required. All visual art mediums are accepted. Please share the story of your artistic and educational practice in your application.
In summary, this grant is for:
- Artists working in any visual discipline who teach in addition to their art practice
- Artists in an early or mid-career stage, whose work is not currently represented neither by commercial galleries nor in major museum exhibitions and collections
- Applicants must be 18 or older, must live in Washington State, and must not be currently enrolled in
an educational institution as a student.
Additional eligibility notes:
- Applicants must have had a practice of three years or more.
- Applicants may note in their application whether or not their teaching practice is through an institution, but institutional affiliation is not required for eligibility.
- Applicants are not required to teach and create in the same medium.
Key dates:
- Applications will be accepted from Friday, August 14th, until Sunday, September 20th, at 11:59pm.
- The selection panel will choose 15 finalists on Sunday, September 27th. AAF will contact these finalists to ask for references/letters of support to be emailed to artistgrants@alliedartsfoundation.org by Oct. 9 at 11:59pm.

About Town Hall Seattle
Town Hall Seattle amplifies ideas, fosters civil discourse, and connects people through events in a vibrant historic building — inspiring lifelong learning, discovery, and dialogue. Founded as a nonprofit in 1998, Town Hall underwent a $35.5 million top-to-bottom renovation of its historic landmark building in 2019 and today serves as a vital community hub for curiosity and conversation. As both a venue and a producer, Town Hall creates space for independent voices, emerging thinkers, and world-class talent, making room for big ideas and the people engaging with them.
Each year, more than 100,000 people gather at Town Hall for hundreds of events spanning civics, science, arts, and culture. In any given week, that might mean chamber music in the Great Hall, a local political debate in the Wyncote NW Forum, or a live podcast recording in the Mehdi Reading Room. It’s why so many people think of Town Hall as Seattle’s living room: a place where creativity, empathy, curiosity, and the belief that we all deserve a voice come together — and where new ideas and possibilities feel unlimited.
The Opportunity
Town Hall Seattle is one of the region’s marquee civic assets, in a healthy financial position, with a strong membership, dynamic audience, dedicated board, agile staff, committed volunteers, and incredible talent across our stages. We are seeking a Director of Development to lead our organizational fundraising efforts: strengthening systems, designing strategy, activating the board, and investing deeply in our Development Team. This role will lay the groundwork for Town Hall’s short- and long-term growth.
This position oversees plans for our development future, aiming to increase contributed income from $2.5 million to $3 million over the next five years, while cultivating major-gift prospects, and building systems to underpin capital fundraising and planned-giving initiatives. As Director of Development, you will be a vital external face of the organization, building and stewarding relationships that power our mission. Internally, you will be a key partner to our Executive Director, designing and implementing short- and long-term strategy.
We are delighted to be working with our search partners at TGA. Anne Katahira and Thomas Goldstein are available to answer any questions.
If you have a passion for Town Hall’s mission, vision, and values, deep and broad development expertise, and exceptional relational and communications skills, please review our full job description on our website and learn how to apply: https://townhallseattle.org/job-listing/director-of-development/

Title: Individual Giving & Engagement Manager
Reports to: Development Director
Job Type: Full time and Exempt
Salary Range: $90,000 to $96,000
Mission:
Seattle Arts & Lectures (SAL) cultivates transformative experiences through story and language with readers and writers of all generations.
We invite you to join our fun, book-loving team of 16 to fulfill the mission of SAL as our Individual Giving and Engagement Manager. SAL offers thoughtfully curated experiences through programs that are intergenerational in nature, bolstering both emerging and established literary artists, and inviting change and new perspectives in our audience. We envision a community where stories are treasured, creative and critical thinking brings us together, and everyone reads. Our work both internally and externally is guided by our core values: joy, equity, curiosity, community, and accessibility.
SAL Program Overview:
SAL fulfills its mission through educational, public, and community programming, in-person and online. Our public literary events bring the most talented and thought-provoking writers of our times to speak about and read their work. Our free Summer Book Bingo program (co-presented with The Seattle Public Library and the King County Library System) inspires our community to reconnect with the joy of reading through a series of fun challenges. Our arts education programs include Writers in the Schools (WITS) and the Seattle Youth Poetry Fellowship (YPF) program. WITS places local, professional writers in public school classroom residencies to inspire K-12 students to tell their stories as they develop lifelong writing skills. YPF elevates the powerful voices of local youth poets committed to community engagement, education, and equity in our region.
Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, & Access:
All staff actively participate in SAL’s ongoing efforts to become an anti-racist organization and embody an organizational culture that supports and reinforces our inclusion, diversity, equity & access goals. Our 2026 Strategic Plan and SAL’s Equity Accountability Reports are available on the SAL website under “About.” This commitment and understanding should be demonstrated throughout the performance of the Individual Giving and Engagement Manager’s responsibilities and staff activities.
Position Overview:
The Individual Giving & Engagement Manager leads Seattle Arts & Lectures’ individual giving program. The role carries a personal portfolio of approximately 100 donors and prospects with direct responsibility for qualification, cultivation, solicitation, and stewardship; directs SAL’s annual giving campaigns toward a $500,000 goal; and serves as SAL’s subject matter expert on portfolio and moves management, establishing the practices and rhythms that support donor relationships across the organization. Working closely with the Development Director and Executive Director, this individual contributor position also maintains the data and operational processes that allow SAL to track progress and make informed fundraising decisions.
Responsibilities:
Portfolio Management & Individual Fundraising (45%)
• Manage a robust portfolio of individual donors and prospects (~100 active portfolio members), with direct responsibility for qualification, cultivation, solicitation, and stewardship.
• Build meaningful, long-term relationships with donors through personal meetings (3+ meetings per week), calls, correspondence, events, and other individualized engagement, and personally solicit philanthropic gifts.
• Develop and maintain clear, individualized strategies and next steps for donors within the portfolio, using disciplined moves-management practices to ensure consistent relationship development.
• Identify, qualify, and research prospective donors — assessing capacity, affinity, connections, and opportunities for deeper engagement — to build SAL’s individual giving pipeline.
• Partner with the Development Director, Executive Director, and other portfolio holders to develop donor strategies, identify appropriate next moves, prepare for meetings and solicitations, and support timely follow-through.
• Facilitate monthly portfolio strategy and major donor meetings focused on donor movement, opportunities, challenges, and next actions, and identify opportunities for SAL leadership, Board members, and other organizational ambassadors to meaningfully engage donors and prospects.
Individual Giving Campaigns & Donor Engagement (30%)
• Lead SAL's annual individual giving campaigns toward a $500,000 annual goal, in partnership with the Development Director and Executive Director. This includes year-end, fiscal year-end, re-subscribe, and GiveBIG campaigns.
• Develop campaign strategies that connect broad-based annual giving with donor acquisition, retention, and upgrading, and that move appropriate donors from broad-based communications into more personalized cultivation and the major gift pipeline.
• Gather and help translate stories, impact information, donor insights, and program outcomes into compelling donor communications, in partnership with colleagues across mail, email, social and other channels.
• Analyze campaign and donor results to understand performance, identify opportunities, and continually improve individual giving strategies.
• Develop SAL’s annual donor stewardship strategy in partnership with the Development Director — coordinating donor recognition, impact reporting, special communications, events, and leadership outreach.
Portfolio Systems, Analysis & Fundraising Operations (15%)
• Ensure SAL’s CRM supports effective portfolio management, moves management, campaign execution, and fundraising analysis, and maintain accurate, timely records of significant donor interactions, strategies, solicitations, and next steps.
• Partner with the Development Associate and Development team to maintain donor research, gift information, and acknowledgements, and to develop donor lists, portfolio reports, dashboards, and fundraising reports that enable the team and organizational leadership to evaluate progress and make informed decisions.
• Use donor data, research, giving history, and engagement information to identify trends and opportunities for acquisition, retention, upgrading, and major-gift development, and promote consistent portfolio-management practices among colleagues.
Organizational & Team Engagement (10%)
• Work collaboratively as an active member of SAL’s Development team, contributing to shared fundraising goals and supporting colleagues across individual, institutional, event, and other fundraising efforts.
• Participate in and support SAL development events, literary receptions, public programs, WITS programming, and other opportunities to build relationships with donors and develop strong knowledge of SAL’s programs, priorities, impact, and community.
• Contribute to a culture of philanthropy in which staff, Board members, and organizational leaders understand their roles in building strong relationships with SAL supporters.
Diverse Workforce statement:
SAL values a diverse workforce and an inclusive culture in all areas of our work and culture. SAL is an equal opportunity employer. We recognize that opportunities in the arts have historically excluded and continue to disproportionately exclude Black and Indigenous people, people of color, people from working class backgrounds, people with disabilities, and LGBTQIA+ people. We strongly encourage individuals with these identities to apply. Strong candidates will bring a diverse set of skills, characteristics, and experiences, both professional and lived. SAL focuses on a holistic view of potential candidates and understanding that no single candidate will offer every desired skill and characteristic. The following offers an aspirational view of the ideal candidate profile, and we encourage applications from candidates with a wide range of experiences and backgrounds.
Minimum Qualifications:
• At least 4 years of direct experience managing an individual donor portfolio, with personal responsibility for donor qualification, cultivation, solicitation, and stewardship.
• Experience working with individual donors across a range of giving levels, from annual fund donors through major gifts.
• Experience developing and executing successful annual giving campaigns, including strategies for donor acquisition, retention, and upgrading.
• Demonstrated ability to use CRM data, donor research, and fundraising results to inform strategy and measure performance.
Desired Qualifications:
• Deep working knowledge of portfolio and moves management practice to develop individualized donor strategies that consistently move relationships forward.
• Experience with principal gift donors or prospects with the capacity to give $1M+.
• Experience serving as a resource and partner to colleagues managing donor relationships, including helping others prepare for donor meetings, solicitations, and follow-up.
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, including comfort engaging donors in person, by phone, in writing, and at events.
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to balance an active donor portfolio with campaign leadership, strategy, and collaborative responsibilities.
• Experience with PatronManager, Salesforce, or a comparable fundraising CRM.
• Experience in arts, culture, education, or literary nonprofits, and genuine enthusiasm for books, reading, and literary community.
Additional Considerations:
• Evening and weekend hours are required, typically 3 to 5 times per month, September through June. Flex time is available to offset these commitments.
• This is a hybrid position based in Seattle, WA. During a three-month orientation period, you will be required to be in the office 3–4 days per week. After that period, SAL currently expects Development staff to work in-office at least three days per week, schedule permitting.
• Relocation assistance is not provided for this position.
• A valid driver’s license and reliable transportation are required for regular donor meetings throughout the Seattle area. Mileage is reimbursed.
Essential Functions:
This position requires regular travel to donor meetings throughout the Seattle area, attendance at evening and weekend events, extended periods of computer and telephone work, and the ability to communicate effectively in person, in writing, and by phone. SAL will engage in an interactive process to provide reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with disabilities.
Benefits Overview:
• Generous paid time off, including 20 vacation days/year starting your second year (15 days in year one), as well as 7 wellness days, 3 personal days, and holidays.
• SAL covers 100% of medical, vision, and dental insurance premiums for employees. Long-term disability and group life insurance are also covered, including an Employee Assistance Program.
• 403(b) retirement plan with a 3% gross salary contribution funded by SAL, plus an optional employee pre-tax contribution.

Description
4Culture is seeking electronic artworks for the Storefront Media Gallery. Up to twelve artists will be selected to present from one (1) to three (3) artwork(s) based on completed or proposed media work, for a period of up to one year. Media artists working in all genres are encouraged to apply. Due to the transitory nature of the audience, works up to 5 minutes are desired. Additionally, because of the urban setting and sounds of the street, artworks should not be highly dependent upon sound.
The Storefront Media Gallery is comprised of four screens (each 1920 x 1080), located in 4Culture’s storefront windows, facing Prefontaine Place South. Two directional speakers are mounted on the exterior of the building, broadcasting sound to passers-by. Artists may present the same work on all four screens or have different visuals on each screen (with one audio file).
Selected artists will work with the program manager to adapt selected work for optimal presentation. The Storefront Media Gallery utilizes software with a timeline interface, which is distributed through a network to the display monitors and speakers. Artworks by numerous artists will be scheduled to play on the timeline, which will loop during presentation hours. The entire program usually lasts about one hour.
Selected artists will also work with the program manager to create promotional materials including a press release, and materials for 4Culture’s social media and/or website. Each selected artist will receive a $1,000 honorarium to help defray related expenses. The artists’ name(s) and artwork title(s) will be posted on the monitors before the artists’ work(s) play. The artists retain all rights of the works submitted.
