Current Cannonball Arts Open Calls

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 announced and awarded our first 20 calls for artists and curators. In June 2025, we announce an additional open call creating opportunities for vendors and performers. See the below opportunities and apply for consideration via this google form

#21-23:  Calling all pop up vendors

We’ve got new opportunities for artists and vendors to take up residence at Cannonball Arts during regular museum hours.

These three spaces will be available for free to a curated group of vendors and artists, for a period of one to thirty days.

These hand-built spaces include the LoLo, Rolling Hut Gallery, and Escalator Bar.

We’re looking for artists and makers of all sizes and types; beauty salons, tea bars, curated pop-up galleries, fortune telling, culinary treats – we want to give harbor to creative start-ups and performers of all types.

21 – THE ROLLING HUT

This 16’ x 8’ rolling room is located on Level Two and designed for 5-30 day activations by regional artists, curators and makers. 

From pop-up art exhibits, to fashion designers, tattoo artists and hair and beauty salons, the Rolling Hut is another free way for artists to introduce their art, craft and talent to the Cannonball audience.

Vendors must be willing and able to exhibit for at least 2 consecutive days, provide their own point of sale system, and be fully responsible for set up, break down. If serving food products, vendors must be licensed and up to date with all Washington State foods safety requirements. 

22 –  LoLo (Lobby Bar)

Designed for 1-5 day activations, LoLo is ready to harbor your best Charlie Brown business plan. 

LoLo is our cute little kissing booth on wheels that lives on the Level Two entrance… from DJs to donuts, ticket sales to tarot reading, portfolio review to nail art.

Vendors must be willing and able to exhibit for at least 2 consecutive days, provide their own point of sale system, and be fully responsible for set up, break down. If serving food products, vendors must be licensed and up to date with all Washington State foods safety requirements. 

23- Escalator Bar

Located on Level One, our 8’ x 8’ escalator bar is designed for 1-5 day pop-ups and activations by regional artists, makers and dreamers. 

Perfect for beauty and jewelry, magic shows to small craft, the Escalator Bar is a free opportunity for artists and creators to engage with Cannonball visitors. 


#24-26 Will Work For Membership

Earn your Cannonball Arts Annual Membership!

There are a hundred good reasons to be a member of Cannonball Arts, and multiple ways to join the club. For those interested in earning their CBA membership through creative labor, we have a host of roles for you to play:

In a variety of positions, from figure drawing model to lifeguard to camp counselor, we seek actors of all backgrounds to help enhance the Cannonball experience. 

Come install yourself among the art.

#24 Camp Counselor 

Join us in Virginia Park, our indoor sculpture garden. We are looking for actors and storytellers to commune around the campfire and encourage conversation, stories and song. Four shifts as camp counselor grants you one year of Cannonball Arts membership and the chance to build community and conversation within Virginia Park.

#25 Cannonball Lifeguard 

Climb the rungs of our nine-foot lifeguard chair and play the role of our art center lifeguard. Complete with a whistle and a megaphone, lifeguards play a key role in protecting the art and monitoring our daily audience. Your job is to tell kids to stop running, visitors to respect the art, and generally provide a safe and entertaining experience inside Cannonball Arts. 

#26 Figure Drawing Model

We seek models of all shapes, sizes, ages and genders to model on our figure drawing platform in the North Gallery. Your bathing suit is required.

Play the muse to earn your annual membership and find yourself the subject of numerous drawings and portraits!
