We Still Dream a Future: Call for Downtown Activations & Exhibitions in 2026
Call for 2027 ARTS at King Street Station Exhibitions
We invite individual artists, curators, organizations, and community-based groups to propose 2027 exhibitions for our cultural space and gallery, ARTS at King Street Station. This call is for exhibitions and related programming only. We are not accepting standalone performance-based work through this call.
Up to $20,000 is available for creative worker wages and project expenses.
Please read the full guidelines for this call.
Manage Your Award
Manage your award through the City's grant platform, Fluxx.
Contact the project manager for this grant or program if you have any questions.
You are the best person to reach your networks and all the people who are most interested in your work. We've seen the best results when artists promote themselves and their events on their own channels, e.g. your own social accounts, email lists, networking, and word of mouth.
Social Media
- Like us on Facebook and follow us on Instagram. Also, be sure you’re signed up for our email newsletter.
- Post about your event and tag us. We'll get notified and can boost as our capacity allows.
- The sooner you tell your project manager about your event, the more likely we’ll be able to fit it into our editorial calendar.
- If you have promo materials, please remember to send anything you've produced (flyers, posters, promo graphics, etc.) to your project manager. These items should all include the Office of Arts & Culture name and/or logo.
We recommend posting on social and circulating these items at least two weeks prior to your event to increase awareness and attendance.
Press Releases and Press Kits
Press releases inform the media about you and your event and can inspire them to publish a calendar listing or even cover the event. Many smaller publications will print releases verbatim if they are written well enough.
Press kits provide useful background information for the media when they write previews or reviews of your event. They can take awhile to assemble, so maybe only create them for larger events that media are confirmed to attend.
Search the internet for a description and walkthough of how to write a press release and create a press kit.
This project not only nourished me through employment. It energized and gave me the confidence to keep doing the work that I love most: building community through dance. — Bennroyce Royon, Filipino Community of Seattle's Inaugural Artist in Residence
