Seattle, WA - The Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs seeks submissions from professional Northwest artists working in all expressions of two-dimensional media for "People+Place: Works Inspired by People, Their Environment or How the Two Interact," a purchase program for the Seattle Public Utilities Portable Works Collection.
Purchases for the portable works collection are made directly from slides and digital images of available work created in the last three years. Purchases are made possible by Seattle Public Utilities 1% for Art Funds. Artists living in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Alaska and British Columbia may apply.
Applications must be delivered to the Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs by 5 p.m., Friday, Sept. 29 or postmarked by midnight that day. The application is available at www.seattle.gov/arts (select Funding Applications). Those unable to download the application may call (206) 233-3930 or send an e-mail to arts.culture@seattle.gov.
Purchases are chosen by a jury of arts professionals charged with selecting artwork of high quality that reflects diversity of expression. City utility employees advise the selection process. The city of Seattle's Portable Works Collection includes approximately 2,800 works and is exhibited throughout city offices, engaging employees by helping to create an interesting and diverse work environment. Artworks in the collection are also made available for exhibit loans to museums.
The Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs promotes the value of arts and culture in and of communities throughout Seattle. The 15-member Seattle Arts Commission, citizen volunteers appointed by the Mayor and City Council, supports the city agency.
