Storefronts Seattle, in partnership with the Seattle Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs, seeks artists to develop art projects for vacant storefronts in various Seattle neighborhoods, including Pioneer Square, the Chinatown-International District, Capitol Hill, South Lake Union and Rainier Beach. The projects will be programmed in available spaces throughout 2012 and into 2013. The deadline for applications is 11 p.m., Wednesday, February 22nd.
Storefronts Seattle is accepting applications in three tracks: Installation (two-dimensional, three-dimensional or new-media artworks); Artist Residency (meeting, rehearsal or studio space); and Creative Enterprise (retail art gallery, boutique, museum, etc.)
Artists selected for the Installation track could receive $250 to $1,000 per installation. Participants in all tracks will receive the use of a retail storefront space at no cost for three months, with all projects subject to early cancellation with 30 days notice if the storefront leases.
This request for proposals will create a roster of projects from which to program storefront spaces as they become available, and roster inclusion does not guarantee placement in the program.
