2019 Exhibition Season
The Arts Center Exhibition Committee seeks proposals for the 2019 Main Gallery exhibition program. Each calendar year, The Arts Center’s Main Gallery features a number of scheduled exhibits that last generally five to six weeks.
We seek submissions that give us the opportunity to broaden our audience and connect with other fields of interest such as science, technology, agriculture, religion, and native and non-native populations.
For curatorial proposals, we use a two-tier submission process. The first proposal can be as long as 500 words. A selection of those will be asked to give additional information so final selections can be made. Curators of such proposals need not be artists themselves, nor are they required to have work in the proposed exhibits. Curators are responsible for preparation and installation of the exhibit; The Arts Center will schedule exhibition time, receive artwork and be of general assistance.
The Arts Center is a community organization that fosters creativity and engagement with the arts locally and regionally.
The Exhibition Committee creates a balanced exhibition program from your submissions.
We invite artists from:
• all media
• large and small group shows
• retrospectives and one-person exhibits
• local artists
• introductory work from artists of the greater Pacific Northwest
• artists who are established, emerging or from underrepresented communities
All artists from the Pacific Northwest are eligible. Artists are responsible for all shipping or delivery. The Exhibition Committee reserves the right to combine artists who have submitted individually.

CARTASIA 2018, International Biennial Dedicated to Paper
Multiple Deadlines: {ONLINE}
December 14, 2017 OutDoor Call For ArtistsFebruary 14, 2018 InDoor Call For Artists
February 14, 2018 Design Call For Artists
Cultural Association Metropolis
Lucca (Tuscany), Italy
August - September 2018
Cartasia is the international Biennial dedicated to paper and its shapes, explored and experienced as never before. At Cartasia, paper becomes a means to express Art, a versatile element of Design, a topic to expand on during Talks and games and discoveries for Fun activities.
As every edition, the Biennial invites international artists and designers to converge within the ancient walls of Lucca, to create a unique event: the first International Biennial dedicated to the use of paper as a form of art, design, education and entertainment. Founded in 2004, Cartasia promotes art that is innovative, unique and ecological, thanks to the collaboration of leading groundbreaking figures in this sector. The choice of paper as an instrument is moved by ethical and traditional awareness: paper represents a historical industry for the Lucca area, and still today is a great economical resource.
The Biennial holds a mirror up to society: every topic is food for thought about our current affairs and the changes that every era and culture bring with it. The topic for the 9th Biennial is Chaos and Silence.
Cartasia originates from a sustainable philosophy, and aims to be an observer and representative of society, as such it approaches contemporary topics, seeking different points of view and solutions. According to the Biennial, the artist and designer have an important role in society. For this reason the Biennial chooses projects that use paper in a bold and original way, keeping in line with the edition's theme: Chaos and Silence. The Biennial isn't just exhibitions, events and entertainment: it's also an occasion for networking and updates on the art world thanks to Talks, two "three day" sessions dedicated to art and design, to be held respectively at the beginning and end of the Biennial.
The Biennial encourages the participation and involvement of international artists and designers through 3 Call for Artists, which will help create three exhibitions: OutDoor, InDoor and Design.
Clink links below to download each call:
Call for Artists OutDoor: involves an artist's residency during which the artist creates monumental sculptures with the Biennale's support, to then be installed in squares and/or on the walls of Lucca (and surrounding area).Call for Artists InDoor: we're looking for art pieces and performances to create one or more exhibitions in symbolic locations of Lucca.Call for Artists Design: we welcome ideas and projects, some of which will be selected, created and exhibited in symbolic locations of Lucca.
