Description
Allied Arts is pleased to announce for its next Artist Award the focus is Digital Art. Digital art is a simple term for a big topic. It spans everything from iPhone sketches to electronic paintings, 8-bit throwbacks and mind-blowing CGI. Many acclaimed artists have decided to create and exhibit their work digitally, while budding creatives need only look to their smartphones to get started.
Submissions are due June1, 2025. Winners will receive an unrestricted cash award ranging from $1000 to $5000. A total of eight awards will be granted with two of these awards restricted for emerging artists. Artists must be a minimum of 18 years old to apply and must live in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Alaska or Montana.
Artists are encouraged to submit a maximum of 10 examples of their work and these submissions must be accompanied by a brief statement describing the inspiration and process for creation of the artwork. AI assisted work should show process and prompts. Submissions should also include the artist’s resume.
Digital art is a form of art that uses digital technology in the creative process, and can include a wide range of mediums and techniques. Digital art can include digital drawings, paintings, illustrations, photos, videos, animation, audio and sculptures. It can also be computer generated, scanned, or interactive. Digital artists can use a variety of hardware and software, including drawing tablets, stylus pens, and computer software like Adobe Photoshop, Krita, Corel Painter, Clip Studio Paint, and Procreate. This is the tip of the iceberg for Digital Art creation. AI assisted artwork is welcome. One of the main characteristics of digital art is the interaction with the viewer. Their installations often allow the creation of immersive experiences that allow users to actively participate in the work. Digital art encompasses a wide variety of forms, styles, mediums and platforms. Its artistic manifestations include everything from static images to immersive videos, 3D experiences or complex animations. Thanks to the internet and digital platforms, users can share and distribute their artistic pieces to a global audience. This feature has democratized access to art, making it possible for the artistic community to discover and appreciate digital works. Innovation is one of the main characteristics of digital art. The growing technological evolution and the emergence of new tools for creating offer artists a wide variety of techniques to explore new areas. Advanced editing programs, 3D modeling and augmented reality tools are just some of the technologies that are driving digital art.
The Allied Arts Award Committee can’t wait to review all the submissions and help propel the careers of digital artists embracing this new frontier of visual art.
The 2025 Artist Awards in Digital Art are supported by Piroshky Piroshky and C.Y. Lee.

Description
Columbia City Gallery and SAM are inspired by Ai Weiwei’s relentless pursuit of questioning authority through his work, driving him to be the prominent iconoclast he is today. After a catastrophic 8.0-magnitude earthquake struck Sichuan in 2008, the Chinese government sought to hide the scale of the disaster, notably by holding back the names of students who had perished. This secrecy emphasized the state’s unwillingness to take accountability, as the substandard construction of government-subsidized schools was a major driver of student deaths. In response to the government’s lack of transparency, Ai mobilized a Citizen’s Investigation to uncover more details on the student casualties. It was a simple inquiry: Who were these students that died? That question spurred a whole movement that brought the community together to remember the departed and demand change. It also led to several iconic works by Ai such as Snake Ceiling and Sichuan Earthquake Names Project, demonstrating to the world the heartbreaking reality of the young lives lost.
Channeling this same kind of investigative spirit, all artists working in 2D and/or 3D media are encouraged to submit artwork completed within the past three years that reflects the theme: Answer As Question. We ask artists to practice rigorous examination, emphasizing work rooted in research, asking questions, and uncovering hidden perspectives through investigation.
Awards: $500 First place submission; $300 Second place submission; and $200 Third place submission.
For a $30 entry fee, you may submit up to 3 pieces of artwork for consideration. Please submit between 1-5 photos per piece of artwork. 1 video per piece of artwork is also allowed.

Description
Mineral Arts & Residencies (formerly Mineral School) is an artists residency founded in a former 1947 elementary school near Mt. Rainier, in Mineral, Washington. During 2025 and the first half of 2026, we'll host 32 creative people during six sessions ranging from one to two weeks in length, providing them with time, space, nutritious food, community, and access to the outdoors as well as the wild and wonderful energy of the region. (We'll also host four artists on an invitational basis via a partnership with Seattle Arts & Lectures' Writers in the Schools program; WITS writers need not complete this application.)
We provide accepted applicants space and time to create new work without the interruptions of normal life and with the bonus of healthy meals prepared by a caterer using locally-grown organic produce and eggs where possible. During each session, four residents will live in an 800-square foot former school classroom that offers peekaboo views of Mineral Lake and Mt. Rainier, and that will double as their writing or art studio, with desk and chair, lighting, bookcase, optional tables and task lighting, and lots of chalkboards. The school building has shared bathrooms with showers. Residents are served all meals daily (plus 24/7 access to a snack fridge and coffee/tea station), with food sensitivities accommodates, and will have the opportunity to share work with the public. Additionally, we will host a "bigger" residency cohort during the short session from September 28 to October 5, when six artists will stay at the nearby Mineral Lake Lodge, and also during October 12 to 26 when we host two artists at Ashford's Jimmy Beech House.
Mineral features a fishing lake, boat rentals, in-town hiking trails, a bar, a general store, churches, a post office, and many deer. It's a 25-minute drive to the Ashford/Nisqually entrance to Mt. Rainier National Park.
Visiting authors and artists: During each residency, special guests will visit and present work. Typically, alumni presenters visit and in some cases bring with them a special guest artist they've chosen to introduce to Mineral. These events are free and open to the public, and are casual dessert potlucks.
Resident presentations: If they wish, residents can share with one another and the public at each session's "show and tell" held during residency. These presentations are typically held after dinner in our library/multi-purpose room and are casual dessert potlucks.

Description
The Seattle based non profit organization and gallery, Center on Contemporary Art CoCA, invites visual artists and designers to submit original, existing artworks for the upcoming show ""Safety/Luck"". ""Safety/Luck"" will feature artists who use safety materials in their work, ie. traffic cones, stop signs, reflective materials and caution tape. Open to all traditional and non-traditional genre and media, including 2D, 3D, etc.
The theme combines different approaches that a culture may use to protect its citizens. ""Safety"" comes from the American focus on keeping its citizens protected with safety materials: caution tape, instructional signs and reflective material. ""Luck"" comes from the Japanese tradition of attaining luck through charms, rituals and temples. ""Luck"" contextualizes ""Safety"": while some America may be obsessed with safety, others cultures may have a different focus for protection entirely. The creator of the exhibition and lead curator, Michiko Tanaka, draws from observations of growing up between Japanese and American cultures. We also propose to offer two workshops where attendees make good luck charms out of safety materials. Proposed locations for workshops are TBD. Submissions will be made through CoCA’s online portal and be juried by Tanaka, a CoCA curator, and invited panelist (TBD).

Are you ready to craft a spirited cadence that lifts people up? Do you thrive on creative freedom, community leadership, and helping others realize their musical potential? Rainbow City Performing Arts is looking for an Artistic Director to lead the Drumline program, an essential heartbeat in our mission to uplift and unite through music.
Rainbow City Drumline is more than just one ensemble; it’s three dynamic groups that create memorable, diverse performances year-round. From energizing soccer crowds to dazzling parade audiences, your leadership will inspire every beat. This is your chance to take the reins in a role where your creativity, passion, and inclusive vision will leave a lasting mark!
Your Role as Artistic Director of Rainbow City Drumline
Rainbow City Drumline acts as one unique ensemble that facilitates drumlines for two other programs, and you’ll oversee their success with our volunteer Drumline staff and fellow Artistic Directors:
• Reign City Riot brings the energy to Reign FC women’s soccer matches, amplifying the excitement on game day.
• Rainbow City Marching Band, founded in 1998, is Seattle’s celebrated LGBTQIA+ and allied marching band ensemble.
• RCDX, our newest group, challenges players with advanced drumming techniques and pushes musical boundaries.
But your leadership doesn’t stop at performances. Each Fall, you’ll create and lead open skills classes, welcoming brand-new and unskilled drummers into the world of drumline. Through these classes, you’ll foster accessibility and help new folks experience the joy of drumming for the first time.
What You’ll Do as Artistic Director
• Create: Write cadences, solos, parts, and choreography to shape the artistic vision of the entire Drumline program. You’ll have full creative freedom to make your mark.
• Lead: Guide a program with three ensembles and a community of passionate volunteers. Performances range throughout the year, with most taking place in the Spring and Summer.
• Teach: Design accessible programming, including the open skills classes, to train new drummers and support musicians at all experience levels.
• Mentor: Develop confidence and leadership within your teams. You’ll help players grow as individuals and as part of a larger ensemble.
• Collaborate: Work with other Artistic Directors across other Rainbow City programs to present public exhibition performances.
• Expand: Build upon a thriving and growing program that already holds a high level of demand and excitement within the community.
You’ll get to experience the power of music to connect and inspire, whether you’re coaching a beginner, leading a parade, or collaborating with seasoned musicians in RCDX.
Why You?
• You Love to Inspire: You’re passionate about teaching and helping others grow, especially those who are stepping into drumming for the first time.
• You’re a Visionary: You have the creativity and experience to lead and evolve a multi-ensemble program, ensuring diverse and exciting performances.

• You Want Longevity: This isn’t just a role; it’s an investment in a community. Most Artistic Directors in Rainbow City hold their positions for many years, creating a deep and lasting impact.
• You Balance Experience with Passion: Formal education is a bonus, but we value lived experience and diverse expertise just as much. If you resonate with this role, we encourage you to apply—even if you don’t meet every requirement.
Compensation and Schedule
This contract role pays $6,000 for the season, with an average of 30 hours of work per month. Performances for the ensembles vary, with most concentrated in the Spring and Summer months. Your leadership will ensure a consistent presence for rehearsal schedules and events year-round.
What to Know About Us

Description
Launched in 2024, Art + Culture Week Seattle (A+CW) is a week-long, citywide celebration of Seattle’s vibrant creative community. Attendees will experience a rich tapestry of visual art, theater, music, poetry, opera, and film in venues across more than 12 neighborhoods. The festival is designed to break down barriers to the arts in Seattle by offering free, immersive experiences that invite public participation.
A+CW 2025 will be held September 20 – 27, launching with Walk Don’t Run and ending with WaNaWari’s Walk the Block. Last year’s event included the participation of over 40 visual and performing arts agencies, and we already have about that number interested in participating this year.
A+CW is looking for an organized self-starter to coordinate and administer this year’s event. Reporting to and working with the Founding Board and Steering Committee, the Coordinator will oversee and manage outreach to interested and participating agencies across all disciplines. Knowing who would want to participate, reaching out to venues and organizations, and creating introductions are paramount to the position's success. Familiarity with the Seattle art and culture scene is required. The job of the coordinator is not to create events, but to sell the idea of involvement to organizations and foster participation.

Duties will include managing communication with participating venues; collecting all individual event information for posting on the A+CW website and social channel; ensuring all participating agencies have event creatives; managing event website (on Square Space) and all outward facing platforms; working with event partners and sponsors; assisting with marketing and PR; and possibly managing the A+CW community booth at the Seattle Art Fair.
Hours are approximately 10 hours/week through October 31, 2025. This is a contract job, and the fee is $32/hour payable on the 1st and 15th of each month. The position starts immediately.

Description
CALL FOR ARTISTS
ROME INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR 2025 – 15TH EDITION
Rome | July 11 – 24, 2025
Deadline: May 31, 2025
ITSLIQUID Group is pleased to announce the open call for the 15th edition of ROME INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR 2025, an international exhibition of photography, painting, video art, installation/sculpture and performance art, which will take place in Rome, at ITSLIQUID Art Space – Rome (click here to learn more about our location) from July 11 to July 24, 2025.
ROME INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR 2025 provides artists and exhibitors with the unique opportunity to present their works to an international audience of professionals as curators, gallerists, collectors, editors and publishers who seek to acquire, publish and encourage the best contemporary art talents.
ROME INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR 2025 analyses the relationship between body and space, and the hybridisation between identities and cultural/physical/social/urban settings in contemporary times, through two main sections: MIXING IDENTITIES and FUTURE LANDSCAPES.
MIXING IDENTITIES analyses the hidden parts of our identities through an immersive experience inside the fascinating universe of the complex labyrinths of our consciousness. The human body is a changing system that connects us with other bodies and spaces to perceive the surrounding reality; a strong communication system with its own language and infinite ways of expression.
FUTURE LANDSCAPES are abstract, infinite and conceptual, associated with a sense of freedom and infinite extension. Primarily experienced with the mind, spaces redefine their limits and borders, transforming surfaces in an open flow of pure ideas. This section focuses on the concept of the borders and the structures between body, mind and soul, the human identity and the city, the space and the ground.
Deadline for applications is May 31, 2025 (11.59 PM your local time)
How to Apply
Artists, photographers, video makers, and performers are invited to submit their works. To take part in the selection, send your works’ submissions with a CV/biography, some still images (for video art), links to videos/films/performances and pictures via e-mail to director@itsliquid.com
