Artist Application

Gallery 110 is an artist run gallery which supports emerging artists. The gallery is dedicated to the presentation of high quality and challenging visual art and to the development and promotion of artists’ careers. Collectively, members share in the work of the gallery and have the opportunity to build on or share their skills in marketing, exhibition management and installation, development and arts event coordination.  Artists not local to the Seattle area telecommute as well as promote the gallery and cultivate opportunities for their fellow artists in other cities.

The gallery, recently accepted by the state as a nonprofit organization, has recently moved to a new space located at110 3rd Ave. S., Seattle.

Artists propose exhibitions and may participate in several group shows throughout the year as well other outside opportunities that members develop. There is no set number of opportunities to show work at the gallery through the year. The membership functions as a team promoting each others work and creating cultivating opportunities. We show work by non-member artists who are invited in as a part of a curated exhibition or who have submitted a proposal which includes the work of one or more of our member artists. Exhibition schedule decisions are made by the exhibition committee three times per year. The commission structure is set up to benefit the artist in terms of sales made and membership is a wonderful way to be a part of a network of artists represented by a well respected and established gallery. The dues and fee structure of the gallery is designed to cover all operating expenses. Participation in occasional gallery events and meetings is mandatory for artists living in the Northwest.
