Hello!
I am reaching out to share with you an exciting artist opportunity that I
am facilitating for KNKX radio. To inaugurate the opening of their new Pike
Place Market Station they are seeking two artists to create murals that
visualize the station’s mission to
deliver jazz, blues, and news that inspire, enlighten, and connect our
community.
This opportunity is open to established and early career artists with the
skill and interest to create large-scale paintings in Seattle, Washington,
during June-July 2023.
KNKX’s roots in the Pacific Northwest run deep, with a history of bringing
jazz, blues, news, and regional storytelling to our region for over 50
years. The new location reflects their commitment to continuing this legacy
and the on-site artwork should also reflect one or more of these elements.
Artists should also be able to convey a strong connection to Seattle and/or
the Puget Sound region during the application process.
Full details, including compensation and the selection process, are
included in the attached PDF and at this link: https://tinyurl.com/33wf7fj2.
Interested artists are invited to submit qualifications by EOD April 17.
The call will be live on the KNKX website at the end of the week, however,
I wanted to share this release with you early in case you or anyone you
know might be interested. Feel free to direct any questions my way at this
email address or murals@knkx.org.
Thanks for sharing!
Kate Fernandez
