Description
Deadline to Apply: October 20, 2025

Overview:
The Lodges on Vashon invites regional artists to submit outdoor sculptures and/or illuminated art installations for their December event series, Vashon Nightlights.

The installation location should be considered a public venue similar to a public park or square. Regular presence by property operators and some security presence/video surveillance will be provided.
Works with fire will be treated case by case and would likely be more appropriate for our evening events when an artist/operator can supervise and guide the experience.
(General themes of the property decor, installations, and mission will point toward earth, winter, light, night, flora and fauna, accessible pagan themes, and away from traditional modern and commodified Holiday/Christmas imagery)

ITSLIQUID Group presents the call for artists for the 7th edition of BARCELONA CONTEMPORARY 2025! Artists worldwide are invited to propose their works for this international show dedicated to photography, painting, video art, installation/sculpture, and performance. The exhibition will take place at ITSLIQUID Art Space – Barcelona from November 22 to December 01, 2025.
Since 2001, ITSLIQUID Group has organized over 350 international events, engaging more than 10,000 artists across over 60 global venues. Its initiatives have featured prestigious museums like the CCCB – Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona in Spain, the NCCA – National Center for Contemporary Arts in Moscow, the MuMo – Museum Montanelli in Prague, and the MUST Museum in Lecce, in addition to numerous galleries and private foundations. Thanks to its partnership with Sedition, ITSLIQUID has presented masters such as Bill Viola and Refik Anadol, offering high-level opportunities for young, mid-career, and renowned artists.
BARCELONA CONTEMPORARY 2025 analyses the relationship between body and space, and the hybridization between identities and cultural/physical/social/urban settings in contemporary times, through two main sections: MIXING IDENTITIES and FUTURE LANDSCAPES.
MIXING IDENTITIES analyzes 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 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.
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

From December 4, 2025– February 21, 2026, CoCA will present the latest incarnation of its storied series exploring contemporary art, the CoCA Annual, a juried group exhibition seeking work from emerging as well as established artists in the Northwest and worldwide. For the 25th edition, CoCA is proud to announce Joseph DeLappe as juror.
Joseph DeLappe, (American, b. 1963), is an artist, activist and educator, currently working in Scotland, where he is the Professor of Games and Tactical Media at Abertay University, Dundee. Working with electronic and digital media since 1983, his projects in online gaming performance, sculpture and electromechanical installation have been shown throughout the world. Considered a pioneer in the critical and creative engagement of video games, performance, activism and community-based practices, DeLappe co-edited INCITE: Digital Art and Activism (Peacock Visual Arts) with art historian and curator Dr. Laura Leuzzi in 2023. In 2017 he was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in the Fine Arts.
www.delappe.net. We are grateful to him for the following description of the exhibition:
We Don’t Need This Fascist Groove Thang
The world we inhabit is in a state of ongoing upheaval. We have witnessed the onslaught of authoritarianism in the USA, with escalating attacks on civil rights, immigrants, the degradation of freedom of speech and expression, reversals on reproductive autonomy, the erasure of LGBTQIA+ rights, etc. Our collective landscape continues to grow more volatile. We have lived through the global pandemic, witnessed systemic state violence against minorities, witnessed the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the brutal genocide in Gaza, intensifying climate catastrophes, and felt the shockwaves of Roe v. Wade being overturned. The ongoing erosion of democratic institutions, and the weaponization of digital technologies have only deepened the sense of instability.
In these struggles, is it possible, even necessary, for artists, technologists, writers, and activists to imagine alternative futures, challenging dominant narratives, and carve out spaces of truth, dissent, and hope?
We Don’t Need This Fascist Groove Thang is a call for artworks across all media that respond to our current moment of intersecting crises. We are seeking works that confront, question, and resist the politics of authoritarianism, nationalism, and hate, while also proposing creative strategies for care, solidarity, survival, and beauty.
We welcome submissions in any form—visual art, performance, games, writing, film, sound, installation, digital media, and hybrid practices. This exhibition is rooted in the belief that creativity is both a tool of resistance and a catalyst for change. Let’s come together to insist that another world is possible—and that we don’t need this fascist groove thang!
The deadline for submissions is midnight on Sunday, November 9 There will be a series of opening receptions, all on the Pioneer Square ArtWalk on First Thursday, December 4, January 1st, and February 5 at CoCA’s Pioneer Square location inside the Tashiro Kaplan Building at 114 Third Ave. South, Seattle, 98104. Other related events and performances will be determined from the submissions.
Artists in any region and any country are welcome to submit. A $500 first prize, $250 second prize, and $150 3rd prize will be awarded by the juror, as well as up to two $50 “honorable mentions” featured on CoCA’s website and become part of the ongoing 45-year archive (Prize monies in USD). A catalog of the show will feature artists’ statements, biographies, and images, as well as a short introductory essay by the juror.

Jack Straw Cultural Center is now accepting applications for the 30th year of the Jack Straw Writers Program, with Curator Claudia Castro Luna. To date, the program has included more than 300 writers from the Pacific Northwest and beyond who represent a diverse range of literary genres. Each year, an invited curator selects 12 fellows.
The purpose of the Jack Straw Writers Program is to introduce writers to the medium of recorded audio; to develop their presentation skills for both live and recorded readings; to encourage the creation of new literary work; to present the writers and their work to the public; and to build community among writers.
Participating writers are presented in live readings, in the printed Jack Straw Writers Anthology; and on the web and radio. Writers receive training in vocal presentation, performance, and microphone technique to prepare them for public readings, interviews, and studio recording. Their recorded readings and interviews with the curator are then used to produce programs for SoundPages, our literary podcast, and for selected radio broadcast.
