Call for artists
FLOW 2020: Temporary art exhibition along the Ship Canal

The Office of Arts & Culture (ARTS), in partnership with Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) is seeking emerging artists to develop temporary artworks for FLOW 2020, an exhibition of temporary artworks for construction walls and fences as part of SPU’s Ship Canal Water Quality Project.

Working with SPU and ARTS, six to eight selected artists will design and develop artworks that can be affixed or applied to wood construction walls or chain link fences. The selected artists will create artwork specifically for one of the four artwork construction sites. Artists are invited to use a variety of materials including but not limited to paint, photography, murals, sculptural attachments, collage, relief, rope or ribbon woven into fences, plastic puck attachments, or many other approaches.  Artists are encouraged to utilize innovative approaches to materials and attachments. Artists will explore themes and ideas that are relevant to their own practice. If they wish, the artists may also respond to the site context and histories, water quality issues, and the presence of drainage and wastewater facilities.

Eligibility:
This call is open to emerging artists residing in Washington State. An emerging artist is defined by our office as an artist at an early stage in their career, who may/may not have specialized training, who has created a modest body of artistic work, and has not completed a commission greater than $20,000.00. Students are not eligible to apply.

The Seattle Office of Arts & Culture encourages diversity in its collection and programming. Artists whose work is well represented in the city’s programs are eligible to apply, but the artist selection panel will consider artistic diversity as one factor in the selection process.

Budget:
Each of the six to eight selected artists will receive $10,000.00, inclusive of all fees for design, fabrication and installation, including Washington State Sales and Use Tax (10.1%).

Deadline: Friday, July 19, 2019 at 10:59 p.m. Pacific.

Application: Apply on CaFÉhttps://officeofartsculture.cmail19.com/t/y-l-urclhl-tlawgx-j/.

Workshop:
We are offering free, optional workshops that will provide some general information about the FLOW projects and the CaFE online application system.
