Since 2011, Gallery 110's annual juried exhibition has showcased work by emerging and established artists, with pieces chosen by a prominent juror with ties to the artistic community of the Pacific Northwest. Our nonprofit gallery's location and reputation offer artists exposure to professional reviews, access to Seattle's Pioneer Square Creative District, and participation in the First Thursday Art Walk, which averages 1,000+ visitors per month.
Gallery 110 invites emerging and established artists to submit original artwork in any two- or three-dimensional media for consideration for the 16th Annual International Juried Exhibition. This is an OPEN CALL.
Juror
Ryan Hardesty has been the Executive Director at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at Washington State University since 2014. Previously, he spent twelve years at the Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture. His career has also included positions at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston, the Rose Art Museum at Brandeis University, and the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University.
Awards
Finalists' works will be displayed at Gallery 110 from February 4 - February 27, 2027. The juror will award first, second and third place prizes of $1000, $500 and $300. There will also be a 'People's Choice' award of $200.
