Columbia City Gallery is honored to announce a Call for Entries for its 18th Annual Juried Exhibit. The Jurors for this exhibit are Avery Barnes of Avery Barnes Gallery and James Coley, King Street Station Program Lead of the Seattle Office of Arts & Culture. The exhibit will run from August 26 – October 4, 2026.

Unwavering Hope is a call for all artists who yearn for a brighter future. This Juried Exhibit aims to highlight the radical act of hope in today’s harrowing political climate.

All artists working in 2D and/or 3D media are encouraged to submit artwork completed within the past 3 years that reflects the theme of Unwavering Hope. We ask artists to share works depicting ideas or subjects that fill them with promise, uplifting hopeful perspectives that matter to them and merit more visibility.

Awards: $500 First place; $300 Second place; and $200 Third place.

Discounted entry fees are available to BIPOC, LGBTQ+, disabled, and/or immigrant artists, or other marginalized groups who would benefit from reduced cost-access.
