The Artist Showcase at Northwind Arts Center in downtown Port Townsend is calling on artists to submit 2-D and 3-D artwork for one of Northwind’s most successful programs.

Application deadline is Feb. 15.

The Artist Showcase encourages excellence in the arts by providing an ongoing professional exhibit space in Northwind. Artists are juried into the showcase for a period of nine months. According to a press release, the artist’s work is presented in a curated show, hung by Northwind and rotated monthly; the artist is not required to staff the exhibit space; and the artist takes away 70 percent of the sale price of that person’s art.

In exchange, Northwind provides jurying of artists for acceptance into the Artist Showcase; Northwind receives a monthly fee of $50 from artists who are accepted. Northwind provides trained volunteer staffing, as well as a prime downtown location with professional lighting.

A panel of one outside juror and one Northwind curatorial staff person is to determine which artists who submit work to the Artist Showcase are accepted annually.The 2017 juror is Martha Jordan, director of the Winslow Art Center on Bainbridge Island. For online application go to:
