About the magazine

The Seattle Office of Arts & Culture (ARTS) is a municipal agency established in 1971 as the Seattle Arts Commission, with a mission to advance the role of arts and culture in Seattle's civic life. Its founding ethos rests on the belief that public investment in creativity is essential to a thriving, equitable city. ARTS administers a range of programs—from the 1% for Art ordinance that integrates public art into civic infrastructure, to grants for individual artists and organizations, to youth arts partnerships like The Creative Advantage. The agency prioritizes racial equity and community engagement, aiming to ensure that Seattle's cultural landscape reflects the diversity of its residents.

Submitting your work

Reading periodVaries

Artists and organizations should first review ARTS' current program guidelines and eligibility criteria on its website, as opportunities vary from project-based public art calls to annual grant cycles. For the Creative Advantage Community Arts Partner Roster, applicants must demonstrate experience teaching in K-12 settings and alignment with Seattle Public Schools' goals. Prepare a clear project narrative, budget, and work samples that reflect a commitment to community engagement and racial equity. Deadlines are firm, and applications are typically reviewed by panels; consider attending informational sessions or contacting program staff for clarification. Ensure all materials are submitted through the specified online portal.
