CoCA accepts proposals from independent curators
and artists for art exhibits at its two galleries.
The galleries are
located in Ballard and Belltown
• Ballard: Inside the Shilshole Bay
Beach Club at 6413 Seaview Ave NW, Seattle 98118
• Belltown: Located
on the first floor of the Avenue One Condominiums at 2721 First Avenue, the
gallery is viewable through the three windows on the Clay Street side.
Each exhibition will last approximately one month. The emphasis is on group
shows but CoCA will consider solo artists as well. The call is open to all
media. Our Ballard Gallery is best for artists with a strong focus on 2D work,
while our Belltown Gallery is well suited for 3D installations. Selected
exhibitions will receive exhibition show cards, event marketing and support in
seeking individual and corporate sponsorship for exhibitions.
