How to Apply

Who Can Apply
Gallery4Culture is an annual program dedicated to presenting solo exhibitions, small group, and curated exhibitions by artists living in King County and who are not currently represented by a commercial gallery. We encourage artists who work in all media and genres to apply, including those whose method of work is under-represented in commercial and mainstream galleries. Eligibility is limited to independent artists and curators living in King County who are not represented by a commercial gallery at the time of application. Please contact Esther Luttikhuizen with questions concerning eligibility at 206 296.8674 or email Esther Luttikhuizen

Selection Process
A panel composed of local artists, arts professionals, and curators reviews applications to the gallery annually. The composition of the panel changes each year. The panel selects eleven proposals for exhibitions in the upcoming gallery season, which runs from September through August. Selection of work is based upon artistic excellence. The panel also considers geographic and cultural diversity, as well as diversity of genres and media. The feasibility of the proposal will also be considered; slides and supporting materials should represent the artist's or curator's ability to carry out the proposed exhibition.
