The Yakima Arts Commission is seeking applications for the Windows Alive! display planned for fall/winter 2023-24.
The deadline for artists to apply is 5:00 pm on Thursday, August 31st.
The goal is to have the show ready for Friday, October 6th.
Windows Alive! enables talented artists and groups of artists to display their works and at the same time help invigorate empty downtown storefront windows. Artists residing in Yakima, Yakima County and elsewhere in Central Washington are invited to submit entries.
Following the selection process by the Yakima Arts Commission, 6 projects will be picked for the new display. Individual artists or groups who are chosen to show their work in the windows will be paid a $250 stipend.
An application form and additional information concerning entry requirements are available at www.windowsalive.com. Questions about the project can also be sent to yakimawindows@gmail.com
All types of art work are welcome, including paintings, drawings, fiber art, crafts, ceramics, photography, alternative materials and sculpture.
Windows Alive! displays are located on the north side of Yakima Avenue between Hotel Maison and 3rd Street.
Windows Alive! was created in 2013 by the Yakima Arts Commission , which serves as an advisory board to the Yakima City Council. The project, now in its 10th year, is part of an ongoing effort to bring public art to downtown Yakima.
