Description
The Artist in Residence Program at Recology King County (RecologyKC 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, RecologyKC AIR encourages the conservation of natural resources while inspiring artists to think about habits of consumption, waste disposal, and sustainability. RecologyKC 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 the experience of working with recycled materials. At the conclusion of each residency, RecologyKC hosts a public exhibition and artist talk at Mutuus Studio in conjunction with the Georgetown Art Attack. Artists contribute one piece of art to RecologyKC AIR’s permanent collection. The collection is shown in off-site exhibitions and public venues that serve to promote the artists, recycling, and reuse. The 2025 program runs from May – August, with a final exhibition held in September. Applications are now being accepted until January 13, 2025 at 11:59pm PDT. Five finalists will be selected and notified by January 21, and scheduled for in-person interviews on Saturday, February 1. The selection committee includes AIR program managers Maria Phillips and Amanda Manitach, past resident artists and a member of the Seattle Art community.

Gallery 4Culture seeks solo, collaborative and group exhibition proposals in a broad range of media for our next season, which runs from September 2025 through August 2026. Six (6) shows (each approximately six weeks in length) by King County-based artists will ultimately be presented. Emerging artists and those whose approach to studio practice is underrepresented in commercial venues are encouraged to apply. Installation and site-responsive artwork will be prioritized.
Selected artists, teams and groups receive curatorial direction, communications/PR support, and a $2,000 honorarium to help defray expenses. Artists are responsible for the delivery, installation and de-installation of their work, and for supplying and insuring all electronic equipment used in their show. The gallery space is adjacent to a busy conference room and open office; consequently, the sound levels of audio components will be restricted. While Gallery 4Culture is not a commercial venue, exhibiting artists are welcome to offer their works for sale. Any sale of art is handled directly between the artist and collector; 4Culture takes no commission.
How to Apply
Applicants must submit the following materials via online application. First-time 4Culture applicants will need to create an account to access the application.

Nationally recognized for our work in creating dynamic, community-driven exhibitions and programs, we put our community at the heart of each exhibition we create. The stories you see and hear within our walls are their authentic experiences and perspectives. From the struggles of early Asian pioneers to accomplished works by national Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) artists, their contributions give us a look at what it means to be uniquely American. Our 60,000 square foot facility offers three floors to tell our communities’ stories, with contemporary galleries showcasing both temporary and permanent exhibitions as well as preserved historic spaces accessible only through our daily guided tours. Beyond our walls, we tell the story of our neighborhood, Seattle’s Chinatown-International District, and activate and steward multiple sites throughout the area. While economically challenged, it is a historically and culturally vibrant area, and we see ourselves as a neighborhood concierge and an economic anchor for the nearby small businesses. From restaurants to statues that you might not otherwise notice, there are layers of history and significance that are waiting to be uncovered. Wing Luke Museum offers guided neighborhood tours and events that will encourage you to discover stories and tastes both on and off the beaten path.
