‘Northwest Expressions’ call for art is open

Northwind Art has launched a call for entries for its upcoming juried exhibition, "Northwest Expressions," scheduled to run from June 25 through August 10 at the Jeanette Best Gallery in Port Townsend. Open to artists aged 16 and older residing in Washington and Oregon, the showcase accepts a wide range of media including painting, jewelry, sculpture, and photography. The submission deadline is May 29, with artist and educator Anne Pfeiffer serving as the 2026 juror.

This regional exhibition highlights the nonprofit's commitment to fostering a diverse Pacific Northwest art scene by featuring both established and emerging makers. Notably, Northwind Art is implementing inclusive entry policies by waiving application fees for BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ artists, aiming to lower barriers for historically underrepresented communities while providing a platform for regional creative voices.
