Public Art Artist Roster 2021-2023
The Seattle Office of Arts & Culture (ARTS) is creating an artist roster
of approximately 200-300 artists, that will include both artists who are
emerging into the field and experienced public artists, who will be
pre-qualified for future public art projects in 2021-2023 within city
utility facilities, parks, street right-of-way, and other locations.
The Seattle Office of Arts & Culture (ARTS) commissions a variety of
public temporary and permanent artworks through its 1% for Art program. The
public art program works with several City departments engaged in capital
construction projects and City-wide initiatives. With several projects
launching through the City’s utilities, parks, and transportation
departments, this pre-qualified artist roster will streamline the selection
process and will be used when appropriate. This is one of three methods
ARTS uses to select artists: open calls, invitational calls, and rosters.
The Public Art Artist Roster 2021-2023 will include both emerging and
established public artists whose applications will be reviewed and juried
separately.
Eligibility
This call is open to established artists currently residing in the United
States and emerging artists currently residing in Washington state. Artists
will be asked to self-identify as either an emerging or established public
artist, please see ARTS' definition for each category above or in the
application form to determine which option you should select.* Priority
will be given to emerging artists and artists from historically
under-represented communities, including communities of color. *Artists
must be at least 18 years of age to apply. Students are not eligible to
apply.
Artists who apply as a team may not also apply as individual artists.
Deadline
5 p.m., Monday, November 30, 2020 (Pacific Standard Time) Please allow
ample time to complete and submit your application; applications submitted
after the 5 pm deadline will not be accepted.

Subject: [TacomaArt] Call for Artists: Global Block Party: Banner Artwork
at Othello Square Building
Call for Artists
Global Block Party: Call for Banner Artwork at Othello Square Building
Introduction:
The Odessa Brown Children’s Clinic (Seattle Children’s Hospital) is
seeking up to five artists to submit images of artworks that can be
translated and fabricated onto exterior banners.
About the Project:
The Project provides neighborhood housing (Orenda at Othello Square) on
floors 3-7 and floors 1-2 will include the Odessa Brown Children’s Clinic
and Tiny Tots. This community-oriented project seeks to help minimize
displacement in the Othello neighborhood by providing workforce housing.
(Workforce housing is housing that is affordable to workers and close to
their jobs. It is rental housing, that can be reasonably afforded by a
moderate to middle income, critical workforce and located in acceptable
proximity to workforce centers.)
OBCC will provide community and family pediatric oriented health services.
It will be an inviting and friendly place where neighbors can find the
support, education, and care they need.
Tiny Tots, the early learning childcare facility plans to provide care for
infants to preschool aged children and will be a convenient and safe place
for families living in the building, working in the clinic, or living in
the Othello neighborhood.
About Othello Square:
Starting as a grassroots movement, community members in Othello banded
together to influence the future of their neighborhood. Othello Square
(originally named Southeast Economic Opportunity Center) is their
cumulative vision for the evolution of Othello and includes four properties
with a shared open space plaza. Through the master planning process,
stakeholders worked together to establish the following mission statement:
“The Campus is designed to represent the diverse and international nature
of South Seattle, providing a place that serves the whole community with
homes, educational and business development opportunities, family-wage
jobs, health care, social services support, and a variety of small
enterprises at which to shop, eat and play.”
Project Rendering:

Scope of Work:
The artist will submit images of existing 2D artworks that relate to the
theme Global Block Party that can be translated into large-scale
banners that will be on the exterior of the Building. The theme* Global
Block Party* refers to the goals determined by the Odessa Brown
Children’s clinic art committee.
Theme: Global Block Party
The Othello neighborhood is the most culturally and ethnically diverse in
the City of Seattle. Othello represents home to over 26 different
ethnicities, is represented by intergenerational families and a diverse
workforce. Together, these diverse communities and cultures work and play
together, raise their children together, and protect each other. This
togetherness is best represented by the idea of a Block Party, a
neighborhood gathering that welcomes everyone as they are, to come and
celebrate the community as a whole. We are asking artists to submit images
that relay idea of cross-cultural celebration, community togetherness and
joy.
The artist will submit images of existing 2D artworks that relate to the
themes for the project:
· Unity
· Equity
· Home
· Dream
· Nest
· Belonging
· Strength
· Wellness
· Ownership
· Family
The images will need to be able to be translated into large-scale
(approximately 27’ tall) banners that will be on the exterior of
the building along S. Othello Street. Additionally, a large mural
(depicted above) has been finalized for the exterior of the building, along
with custom perforated metal panels at the Movement Room on the south (see
rendering below). It is important the banners are cohesive with the
existing art designed for the building.

Subject: [TacomaArt] December, 14, Creative Colloquy Presents Writing in
the Dark: Re-imagining Possibility in Crisis with Ever Jones
December 14, 7 to 8:30 p.m. Creative Colloquy presents The Writer's
Workshop Series-- Writing in the Dark: Re-imagining Possibility in Crisis
with Ever Jones.
Looking into what you cannot see is more portal than paradox. In this
season of wintering and period of intersecting crisis, it is time to turn
off the lights and increase the weight of our presence.
In this workshop-by-candlelight we will summon our inner mystics with
poems and writing prompts that reach into our deepest wisdoms of the
present moment/ We will (re)imagine possibility and joy within the traumas
of the unfolding future.
*This event is FREE to attend, though registration is required. Zoom
Meeting Info will be sent just prior to event festivities. REGISTER HERE: *https://www.eventbrite.com/e/writing-in-the-dark-re-imagining-possibility-in-crisis-tickets-129892553123
