ArtsWest, a gallery and theater located in West Seattle, is now accepting submissions from established, mid-career and emerging Pacific Northwest visual artists who wish to be considered for inclusion in 1 of 12 two to three artists shows in 2009-2010. A committee of jurors will select artists based on high standards of creativity, quality and professionalism. The majority of artwork selected will be two-dimensional (pieces that can be hung on gallery walls), however some three-dimensional pieces will also be selected. All artists will be notified by May 31.

ArtsWest is a non-profit arts organization, producing artistic events so fiercely compelling that they require conversation, improve the imagination, and promote cultural vibrancy as a core value. ArtsWest Playhouse and Gallery is located at 4711 California Ave SW in West Seattle.

Interested artists should submit:
• Four (4) entries as jpg files on CD only. CD must be both PC compatible. Digital files should be saved as jpg files sized at 300 dpi with a height of 1200 pixels, (width will vary according to vertical or horizontal image). Label each jpg file with your first initial, last name and the artwork title: first initial_last name_title. (Label CD with name only)
