Deadline
March 15, 2025
Organization Name: Cannonball Arts
Organization Location: Seattle, WA
Type: Calls & Submissions
Fee: Free
Discipline:
From the producers of Out of Sight, Museum of Museums and Bumbershoot Arts + Music Festival and in partnership with the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe comes Cannonball Arts – a new contemporary art center in the heart of downtown Seattle. Opening in 2025, Cannonball Arts will exhibit and celebrate artists working across disciplines, mediums and genres.
We have 20+ open calls currently live on our website with a brief and informal application. We do open calls differently. As an idea-based art center, we are looking for bold and unconventional ideas, and celebrate mediums and genres often passed by. Renderings and budgets are valuable, but we are more interested in your ability to communicate your ideas and the quality of your vision. We want to show the works that other institutions won’t and elevate under-represented talents across the wide spectrum of creative self-expression. Be wildly creative, ideate your project clearly, show proof of your ability to execute and share with us your boldest dreams.
As a partnership between Bumbershoot and Muckleshoot Indian Tribe, Cannonball Arts is dedicated to creating space and opportunities for Native artists and craftspeople throughout the Pacific Northwest. Our lobby will host a 30 foot long by 12 foot wide platform designed to construct traditional dugout canoes, allowing pedestrians and art center visitors alike to watch and learn canoe carving from tree to sea. We welcome Native artists to use our lobby as a studio to carve, construct and paint handmade canoes and will provide a $5,000.00 grant to participating artist teams.
