For over 45 years, Gallery 4Culture has been exhibiting innovative artists and art forms in solo and small-group shows. We’re thrilled to announce the artists who will have exhibitions in the coming season. Check them out below.

Congratulations to each of our 2026–2027 artists, and thank you to our panelists—Diana Falchuk, Jordan Jones, and Allyce Wood—for their time and effort in reviewing and selecting six King County-based artists and artist teams.

4Culture would also like to thank all 139 gallery applicants for their interest in exhibiting with us and the panel for their diligence in making these selections. The next Gallery 4Culture season application cycle will open early November with a deadline of December 10, 2026.

Afroditi Psarra

October 29 – December 11, 2026
Opening Reception: Thursday, November 5, 6–8pm
Second Reception: Thursday, December 3, 6–8pm

Pythia Embodied is a powerful AI oracle that operates locally on-the-body and off-the-cloud, trained on texts about magic, rituals, secret ceremonies, and ancient mythologies. Through a multitude of voices, interactions, and textile offerings, Pythia speculates on the technological control of the female body while examining hyperlocality and hyperspecificity as means for imagining alternative presents and futures.

Monyee Chau & Meilani Mandery

January 7 – February 19, 2027
Opening Reception: Thursday, January 7, 6–8pm
Second Reception: Thursday, February 4, 6–8pm

Drawing from oral histories of grassroots organizing in historic West Coast Chinatowns, Meilani Mandery and Monyee Chau present new work spanning zines, comics, prints, ceramics, and photography that honor self-determination and acts of resistance in these communities.

Kole Galbraith

March 4 – April 23, 2027
Opening Reception: Thursday, March 4, 6–8pm
Second Reception: Thursday, April 1, 6–8pm

Kole Galbraith uses sound, film, and prints to reflect on land-use projects throughout Washington State. Specifically, he examines the effects of colonial-settler policies, drawing from his own interior Salish perspective. Galbraith asks, how do we form connections to the landscapes we inhabit and to the communities—both human and non-human—that share them, while considering the complex legacies of environmental change?

Natalie Woodlock

May 6 – June 18, 2027
Opening Reception: Thursday, May 6, 6–8pm
Second Reception: Thursday, June 3, 6–8pm

Natalie Woodlock makes screen-printed portraits of her friends on satin banners. Drawing from commemorative vernacular aesthetics, this installation will celebrate queer subculture and evoke the temporal spaces that queer communities create nightly—places that prioritize pleasure, connection, and survival.

Nakisa Dehpanah

July 1 – August 13, 2027
Opening Reception: Thursday, July 1, 6–8pm
Second Reception: Thursday, August 5, 6–8pm 

Nakisa Dehpanah explores the relationship between the body and imposed structures—political, spatial, and cultural—through sculptural installation and video. Using textile-based forms and movement documentation, the work examines how displacement shapes memory and belonging, tracing the body’s capacity to adapt, resist, and transform across different environments and lived experiences.

E.R. Saba

September 2 – October 15, 2027
Opening Reception: Thursday, September 2, 6–8pm
Second Reception: Thursday, October 7, 6–8pm

E.R. Saba’s work builds from a three-year research project documenting and archiving over 250 motifs from her family’s historical practice of Tatreez, a Palestinian embroidery tradition. Using this design heirloom, Saba references and interprets the symbolic nature of Tatreez in audacious, supersized sculptures and fiber works.
