About the exhibit
Today’s youth are creative and talented and we want to celebrate their voices. Teen Open Call is a non-theme specific art exhibit designed to give area teens a voice through creative expression. Teen Open Call celebrates the artistic abilities of young artists (ages 13-19) in our community by showcasing youth art in a professional gallery setting at Graphite Arts Center for a 7 week exhibition. Graphite is seeking original, high quality, finished works by teen artists that display artistic talent, and skill with the use of chosen material.

Entry and acceptance to Teen Open Call provides opportunities not only for public display of artwork, but also public recognition beyond the school community.

Mention of artwork exhibited in a public gallery may strengthen college applications and increase opportunities for scholarships.

This is a juried, group show with rules for submission, standards for acceptance and a small entry fee. Two-dimensional art must be framed for exhibition. All interested teens are encouraged to apply

Title: Development Coordinator
Reports to: Stewardship Manager
Job Type: Part time, Non-exempt (10-15 hrs. per week)
Rate: $25 per hour
Location: SAL office, 340 15th Ave E, Suite 301, Seattle, WA 98112


Mission:
Seattle Arts & Lectures (SAL) cultivates transformative experiences through story and language with readers and writers of all generations.


We invite you to join our fun, book-loving team of 15 to fulfill the mission of SAL as our Development Coordinator. SAL offers thoughtfully curated experiences through programs that are intergenerational in nature, bolstering both emerging and established literary artists, and inviting change and new perspectives in our audience. We believe these activities are essential to continuously and courageously revitalize equity, justice, and belonging. Our work both internally and externally is guided by our core values: belonging, racial equity, transparency and trust, curiosity, and joy.


SAL Program Overview:
SAL fulfills its mission through educational, public, and community programming, in-person and online. Our public literary events bring the most talented and thought-provoking writers of our times to speak about and read their work. Our free Summer Book Bingo program (co-presented with The Seattle Public Library and the King County Library System) inspires our community to reconnect with the joy of reading through a series of fun challenges. Our youth programs include Writers in the Schools (WITS) and the Seattle Youth Poetry Fellowship (YPF) program. WITS places local, professional writers in public school classroom residencies to inspire K-12 students to tell their stories as they develop lifelong writing skills. YPF elevates the powerful voices of local youth poets committed to community engagement, education, and equity in our region.


Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, & Access:
All staff actively participate in SAL’s ongoing efforts to become an anti-racist organization and embody an organizational culture that supports and reinforces our inclusion, diversity, equity & access goals. Our current Strategic Plan and SAL’s Equity Accountability Reports are available on the SAL website under “About.” This commitment and understanding should be demonstrated throughout the performance of the Development Coordinator responsibilities and staff activities.


Position Overview:
To support SAL’s annual development plan, strategic objectives, and revenue goals, SAL is looking for a people-centered, mission-driven, goal-motivated, data-savvy, reading-and-writing enthusiast to be SAL’s Development Coordinator.

Reporting to the Stewardship Manager, the Development Coordinator will be responsible for providing administrative and data support for SAL’s multi-faceted efforts to foster and sustain long-term, meaningful relationships with our many supporters through thoughtful cultivation of community members, careful stewardship of all donors’ contributions, helping to engage donors in SAL’s mission and programs, and inspiring them with all that their support makes possible.


Responsibilities:
• Provide excellent customer service in all interactions with SAL supporters.
• Support the Development Team in creation, distribution, and tracking of all individual donor communications, including mailings, social media, emails, and thank you calls.

• With SAL’s Stewardship Manager and Events & Annual Giving manager, support the execution of SAL’s two major annual fundraising events – the WITS Back-to-School Fundraiser and the SAL Gala, including data entry, registration, tracking of auction items, gift processing, and donor acknowledgement letters.
• Enter data into Patron Manager (CRM) to assure complete, accurate, and up-to-date records of donor contributions, events, and communications.
• Work with SAL’s finance team to ensure timely invoicing and payments of sponsorships and pledges, and accurate recording of all gifts.
• Perform annual fiscal year rollover and set-up processes for development in SAL’s CRM database.
• Support SAL development events, public programs, WITS programming, and collaborative organizational projects and efforts.


Diverse Workforce statement:
SAL values a diverse workforce and an inclusive culture in all areas of our work and culture. SAL is an equal opportunity employer. We recognize that opportunities in the arts have historically excluded and continue to disproportionately exclude Black and Indigenous people, people of color, people from working class backgrounds, people with disabilities, and LGBTQIA+ people. We strongly encourage individuals with these identities to apply. Strong candidates will bring a diverse set of skills, characteristics, and experiences, both professional and lived. SAL focuses on a holistic view of potential candidates and understanding that no single candidate will offer every desired skill and characteristic. The following offers an aspirational view of the ideal candidate profile, and we encourage applications from candidates with a wide range of experiences and backgrounds.

Description

ArtsWest seeks artists of ALL AGES to exhibit their artwork in the C-shaped Gallery that is also the lobby of the theater. It is the mission at ArtsWest to produce artistic events that provoke conversation, incite the imagination, and use live theater as a powerful agent of change. We are seeking artwork that enhances our 2025-2026 theater season entitled Between Us.

We are a theatre and gallery in West Seattle. Our goal is to marry what is on stage and what is in the gallery to allow our community to experience the themes, ideas, and cultural identities through 2 mediums: visual art & performance. This is
not to say that the visual art should draw direct parallels to the theatrical productions, but inherently compliments it through the programming of the gallery.

ABOUT THE THEATRICAL SEASON: In times of uncertainty, our greatest strength lies not in solitude, but in solidarity. Between Us is a season of five bold, contemporary plays that explore the invisible threads that bind us — the responsibilities we bear for one another, the debts of care we carry, and the lifelines we extend in moments of crisis.
These stories, rich in humor, heartache, and humanity, ask what we truly owe each other — as friends, as family, as neighbors, and as strangers finding connection in unexpected places.

We are able to accommodate all wall-mounted visual art & small space for ceramics and sculpture. No video installations.

The Gallery at Graphite Arts Center (Edmonds, WA) is seeking artwork for the upcoming exhibition ‘Tools: Form and Function’

About the exhibit
We use tools to do nearly everything. To eat we need a fork. To sleep we need a bed. Without changing themselves, tools are the implements that incite change, i.e. the fork moves the food. A tool can keep working as long as it has materials to work on. Tools can be as old as the concept of using tools, or they can be new inventions of futuristic design. The exhibit Tools: Form and Function looks at the foundational objects and implements we rely on every day, re-imagined through artistic interpretation. A creative response to the idea of “tools” is encouraged over literal illustration.

How to Apply

Complete prospectus and entry form can be found on the Graphite website

The Gallery at Graphite Arts Center (Edmonds, WA) is seeking artwork for the upcoming exhibition ‘Teen Open Call’

About the exhibit
Today’s youth are creative and talented and we want to celebrate their voices. Teen Open Call is a non-theme specific art exhibit designed to give area teens a voice through creative expression. Teen Open Call celebrates the artistic abilities of young artists (ages 13-19) in our community by showcasing youth art in a professional gallery setting at Graphite Arts Center for a 7 week exhibition. Graphite is seeking original, high quality, finished works by teen artists that display artistic talent, and skill with the use of chosen material.

Entry and acceptance to Teen Open Call provides opportunities not only for public display of artwork, but also public recognition beyond the school community. For most teens this will be the first opportunity to show in a gallery space outside of school. Mention of artwork exhibited in a public gallery may strengthen college applications and increase opportunities for scholarships.

This is a juried, group show with rules for submission, standards for acceptance and a small entry fee. Two-dimensional art must be framed for exhibition. All interested teens are encouraged to apply
