The Tacoma Art Museum is seeking submissions for it's 9th NW Biennial. Frankly, last year's Biennial was less than satisfactory, and sadly lacked much Portland influence. So this year, Portland, step up your game! It is time to represent, and show off what the creative darlings of the NW can really do. Submissions are due July 26 - guidelines can be found here.




Cinematotale runs a series called Buspass: The Arts and Travel Show, "an online travelogue, biography, and arts discovery program dedicated to unearthing the hidden gems of an urban landscape." They're coming to Portland July 1st & 2nd, and are searching for two artists to feature in their Portland episode. Deadline to submit examples of your work is June 25, and you can learn more about it here.

The RACC is seeking submissions from non-profits and individual artists for its 2009 grant season. RACC Project Grants support a wide range of artistic events and activities throughout Portland, and awards can range from $1,000 to $6,000 in two categories, Artistic Focus and Neighborhood Arts. Intent to apply forms are due by July 30. Applications and guidelines can be found here.

anyone think that the submission process of the NW Biennial is kinda weird? they want 8 digital images and nothing else. i suppose that's okay for most visual art, but not so good for performance, film, or video. and what about sound?
