2009 Woolworth Windows and Tollbooth Gallery Exhibitions
2009 Urban Art Installations program
Tacoma Contemporary


Tacoma Contemporary seeks proposals for its 2009 Urban Art Installations program. This program invites artists, artist teams, and curators to develop temporary exhibitions for two spaces: the windows of the F.W. Woolworth building and the Tollbooth Gallery.

The Woolworth building has five distinct window spaces available for installations, totaling over 500 square feet.

The Tollbooth Gallery is a sidewalk kiosk with a video monitor and approximately 20 square feet of space for the installation of 2D or 3D work.

The exhibitions are lighted and available for viewing 24 hours a day.

Artists are responsible for installation and deinstallation of their projects. TaCo will provide a list of local art installers and holding locations for shipped artwork; artists are responsible for costs incurred with these services.

At the conclusion of the exhibition, the principal artist or curator will receive a $100 honorarium.
