2026-2027 Seattle Convention Center Rotating Art Exhibition Call

The Seattle Convention Center (SCC) is accepting proposals for the Rotating Art Program for calendar years 2026 and 2027. This is an invitation-only call for organizations who have previously exhibited at the SCC. Proposals are for group shows representing at least 5 artists, with each show including up to 70 framed or two-dimensional works. A small number of three-dimensional works may be accommodated within SCC-owned plexi-vitrine cases.

The SCC Art Program highlights the artistic vitality of the region in the Phyllis Lamphere Gallery, located on Level 2 of the SCC Arch Building at 705 Pike Street, Seattle, WA 98101. The gallery is open daily from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. for convention and meeting attendees, visitors, and citizens. The SCC contracts for professional installation of exhibitions. Organizations must curate or self-jury their proposed exhibit to ensure that only reviewed works will be exhibited. Works must be suitable for display by a public entity for a diverse, all-ages audience (rated G).

Accepted media include painting, drawing, printmaking, collage, mixed media, and 3D works that fit inside SCC vitrines. Applicants should submit 10-20 images of representative work and indicate their preferred exhibit period (Jan-Apr, May-Aug, or Sept-Dec). Submission deadline: December 5, 2025. Notification of acceptance: on or before December 15, 2025.
