April’s Upcoming Art Show: “You are not alone.”
That’s right, we’re putting on another show! This one will be our biggest undertaking yet, spending the month of April with art up at Belltown’s Slip Gallery. With a theme of “You are not alone”, our goal is to remind folks through art and community gatherings that there are others out there who care for them and want to share in their experiences. This is in keeping with LAC’s mission to support local artists by helping them remain and thrive in the Seattle area.
If you work with a company or organization who shares these values and would like to sponsor the show, please reach out! It’s vital that we work together to put on events that educate the community about why it’s important to help low-income artists stay in our increasingly expensive city.
((Submissions to the show are now closed. Accepted artists will be informed by end of day February 25th.))

All visual artwork in the show will have a singular focus, emphasizing its individuality or alone-ness. The united works will explore what is created when all these individual pieces come together in conversation and community. They could be in classic mediums like painting and sculpture, or it could be performance art, installations, digital art, etc. Some examples of subject matter or concept may be: portraits, single-object still-life, pieces depicting alone-ness, pieces missing something essential, or even pieces that are separate but speak to another artwork.

Throughout the month of April 2023 we will host musical performances, presentations, networking nights, and other events in the Slip Gallery space with the goal of creating a “third place” for the art community to gather. All programming will be in keeping with the theme and will promote connection among artists, art supporters, and the broader Seattle community.

We’ve got a planning team of seven lovely folks who are working hard to organize April’s activities: Alaina, Yev, Ren, Claire, Emily, Andrea, and Alex.
Stay tuned by subscribing to our newsletter and following us on Instagram and Facebook to hear when we announce events. Also a reminder to reach out if you’re interested in sponsoring the show. We can’t wait to see you in the space!
