The Showcase 2027 call for entries is open!
The Showcase 2027 program features local and regional artists in Northwind Art’s Jeanette Best Gallery, 701 Water Street in Port Townsend. During the year, the program will gather approximately 36 artists in three cohorts, each of which will show across three separate periods: January 28 through May 10, 2027; May 13 through September 6, 2027; and September 9 through January 3, 2028.
The application period will close on November 12, 2026. All artists will be notified by December 5, 2026 with an acceptance or denial letter.
Showcase 2027 jurors will be judging the quality, professionalism, and sales potential of the submitted work. The selection panel will also look for a cohesive body of work from each artist. Final artist selections will reflect a variety of media, techniques, and styles. The works submitted for review can be examples of former artwork, but must demonstrate the style of work that would be exhibited in Showcase 2027.
Artists will be chosen by a panel of Northwind Art curators. The panel will consist of four members: two Northwind Art Exhibits Team staff, Exhibit Designer Suzanne Lamon, and Executive Director Martha Worthley.
For more information, please see the CaFE call for entries.
