Calling All Indigenous Creatives Deadline: April 20, 2018, 11:59PM PST More Information: yehawshow.com<http://yehawshow.com> Exhibition Opportunity: yəhaw̓ is an open call exhibition celebrating the depth and diversity of Indigenous art made in the Pacific Northwest. This show will be held in the newly renovated King Street Station in downtown Seattle in November 2018. All Indigenous creatives living in our region are invited to participate. Everyone who applies will have work included in the exhibition! We are giving up curatorial control through the open call process to empower Native artisans to retake ownership of their representation. By creating an opportunity for the community to speak for itself through a wide range of individual and sometimes conflicting perspectives, we aim to unsettle assumptions and begin a critical new dialogue about what Native American art is and can be. We hope yəhaw̓ will reflect a nuanced, inclusive, and community-driven narrative that firmly establishes Native creatives as belonging in the here and now. Submission Workshops: * Thursday, April 5, 6-8pm, Chief Seattle Club, 410 2nd Ave Ext S, Seattle, WA 98104<https://www.facebook.com/events/2020254531578617/> * Friday, April 6, 1-3pm, Eighth Generation Store, 93 Pike St #103, Seattle, WA 98101<https://www.facebook.com/events/363593860783628/> * Sunday, April 8, 1-3pm, Washington State History Museum, 1911 Pacific Avenue, Tacoma, WA 98402<https://www.facebook.com/events/184550658827901/> Eligibility: This call is open to all Indigenous people living in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Alaska, and British Columbia. This includes residents of those states belonging to Native communities outside of the Pacific Northwest, and outside of what is currently the United States. Everyone is encouraged to participate regardless of age, professional experience, media, or tribal affiliation. Additional Opportunities: As part of the exhibition at King Street Station, there will be a free mentorship program for a cohort of 10-15 emerging creatives. Exhibition applicants will also automatically be considered for free studio space, or additional programming, funding, and exhibiting opportunities as they become available through our growing list of partners. If you are not a visual artist, but you have events that you would like to host in the exhibition space during the run of the show, or if you need a space to host a meeting or a community gathering, please reach out to us.
