The Salish Sea School (TSSS) is a local nonprofit organization that is deeply dedicated to fostering connections to the Salish Sea through marine ecology education and experiences for all ages. We envision a world where all communities are deeply connected to their local ecosystems to inspire an interconnection with the sea.

We invite you to contribute to our exhibit “Discover the Salish Sea” at The Salish Sea School Discovery Center in Anacortes, WA. The show will run September 17th – December 17th.

The Salish Sea is a vibrant ecosystem full of unique wildlife, landscapes, and a diversity of life and people. We are looking for pieces that amplify the uniqueness of this ecosystem, whether that is the wildlife, landscapes, or people that make The Salish Sea so special. Pieces do not have to be educational but should inspire curiosity and connection as people from all over the world visit our discovery center.

40% commission: Our commission fee goes directly to funding environmental education programs that connect our local community to the Salish Sea.

This exhibition will include a meet and greet showing with a small group of TSSS donors prior to our discovery center’s ribbon cutting event.

Number of pieces to submit: up to 2:
Each piece must be:
Your own original work.
Available for sale.
No larger than 24”x 36”

Please Note: We have the right to refuse work, even after work is delivered to the gallery if it does not contribute to the direction, cohesiveness, or available space of the show.

TO SUBMIT: Please email photos of work with medium, size, and description as well as a short bio that explains your connection to The Salish Sea and artist statement to Kyra at community@thesalishseaschool.org.
