Cannonball Arts opens its doors in 2025 and we seek submissions and proposals from West Coast artists and curators across mediums and disciples. At 66,000 square feet, Cannonball Arts will be the largest contemporary art center in the history of Seattle. The scale and ambition of our programming reflects the confidence and enthusiasm we hold for Pacific Northwest creatives. In preparation of our 2025 opening, we are excited to announce our first 20 calls for artists and curators. 

You are invited to submit to as many open calls as you’d like. Please review the following prompts and use the form linked here to submit each individual application. Applications will be reviewed by our arts team in early 2025 and winners will be selected to move forward within 30 days of the posted deadline.

We do open calls differently. As an idea-based art center, we are looking for bold and unconventional ideas, and celebrate mediums and genres often passed by. Renderings and budgets are valuable, but we are more interested in your ability to communicate your ideas and the quality of your vision.  We want to show the works that other institutions won’t and elevate under-represented talents across the wide spectrum of creative self-expression.

Be wildly creative, ideate your project clearly, show proof of your ability to execute and share with us your boldest dreams.
