FREE ENTRY / 4Culture - Here and Now: Portable Artwork for the King County Public Art Collection

As King County evolves, so does its Collection. Departments such as Public Defense, Natural Resources and Parks, Facilities Management, Public Health, and Metro Transit are reimagining their spaces and requesting new artworks that center the people they serve. “Here and Now” is an open call to studio artists living or working in King County to contribute to the next chapter of this story.

We invite submissions of existing, unframed two-dimensional and low-relief artworks—including paintings, prints, drawings, photographs, fiber-based, and mixed-media works—with strong visual presence and conceptual clarity.

To ensure flexibility in placement, artworks must not exceed 42 x 28 inches (unframed) in either dimension, with a maximum depth or relief of 1 ¾ inches. Multiples and editions are welcome as distinct images or cohesive portfolios; diptychs and triptychs will also be considered. Applicants may submit up to five artworks for review and consideration.
