Working with Show Your Art

Show Your Art is dedicated to making meaningful connections between local artists and the venues that welcome them. If you manage a café, gallery, shop, bookstore, community center, or any public-facing space that supports new and emerging PNW artists, there are several ways to get involved:

Free Offerings!

  • Have a call-for-art or artist professional development class you need reshared? Always send it to the @showyourartpnw Instagram account and we'll reshare on our stories for free.
  • Want to be a part of a Show Your Art guidebook or the new interactive map? Fill out this form HERE and we'll add you for free!

Donation-Based: We'll post about your venue or call-for-art in our social media!

Reach thousands of Pacific Northwest artists by working with Show Your Art to do an introductory social media post about your venue. Whether you’re promoting an event, sharing a call for art, or just building visibility, we do a creative and curated introduction post to your space with a suggested donation of $25-50 dollars. Your images from the social media post will also go in the venue map so artists can see inside your space/vibe and determine if they're the right fit.

Donation-Based: Host an Artist Tour or Open House or Collaborate on Artist Events!

Have an idea for an art walk, seasonal pop-up, or curated show? We're always looking for venues to collaborate with on public-facing events that support local talent.

Give artists a chance to see your space in person and learn more about how you showcase art. Hosting a venue tour or open house allows artists to get a feel for your layout, lighting, and style preferences. These informal gatherings are a great way to start conversations, answer questions about your hanging process or commission policies, and find artists who are a good match for your space.
