Federal Way Arts Commission
Gallery Program
- Deadline:
- Budget: $250
-
Eligibility: All work to be shown must be original or reproduction, recent work (within the last two years), not completed under an instructor’s guidance, not previously exhibited. The exhibit areas are designed for two-dimensional hanging works - and must have a suitable wire on the back as we have small "J" shaped hooks that make the work easy to hang from a wire properly secured to your piece.
This local gallery program offers emerging and established artists from the region the opportunity to exhibit their work at two community gallery sites – The Federal Way Performing Arts and Events Center, and the Knutzen Theater Gallery Space at Dumas Bay Centre. Each selected artist or group will have a dedicated exhibition space for an approximate 3-month period, allowing them to engage with the local community, gain exposure, and celebrate the diversity of artistic talent in the area. The program supports a rotating schedule of exhibitions throughout the year, fostering a vibrant, ever-changing arts environment that reflects the creativity of our region.
Artists are encouraged to sell artworks. However, sales are handled privately between the artist and the buyer. The City will provide an exhibit tag for each artwork that lists the artist’s name, price of the artwork and contact information of the artist. There is no commission for any sales that occur as a result of the exhibit. All work must remain on display for the duration of the show.
Artists will receive an honorarium upon the departure of the exhibit of $250. The artist is responsible for transporting their work, and assisting the Arts Commission with the installation and de-installation of the exhibit.
Prior to the show the artist is required to sign a notarized Loaned Art agreement and submit a list of art works and their value. Please see website for full details.
