BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER
October 1st-29th, 2026
What is beauty? A misty mountain trail? A bustling city street? A rusty bicycle leaning
against a brick wall? A bird mid-flight, a shadow on the sidewalk, a splash of unexpected
color? Whatever your answer is, we want to see it.
Schack Art Center is seeking artists to submit 3D artwork for our annual juried Holiday Exhibition. We are looking for pedestal, floor, or case displayable (not wall-hung) works in glass, ceramics, wood, jewelry, or other sculpture, handmade gift items and more, both non-holiday and holiday themed. These 3D works will accompany our featured wall exhibition by Women Painters of Washington.
FREE to enter!

Showcase 2027
The Showcase 2027 program features local and regional artists in Northwind Art’s Jeanette Best Gallery, 701 Water Street, Port Townsend. During the year, the program will gather approximately 36 artists in three cohorts, each of which will show across three separate periods: January 28 – May 10, May 13 – September 6, and September 9 – January 3, 2028. The application period will close on November 12, 2026. All artists will be notified by December 5, 2026 with an acceptance or denial letter sent to the email associated with their CaFE account.
Entry Fee: $35
The application deadline for Showcase 2027 is 11/12/26 at 11:59pm PDT
Showcase jurors will be judging the quality, professionalism, and sales potential of the work. The selection panel will also look for a cohesive body of work from each artist. Final artist selections will reflect a variety of media, techniques, and styles. The works submitted for review can be examples of former artwork, but must demonstrate the style of work that would be exhibited in Showcase 2027.
In an effort to encourage and promote the sale of art exhibited in the Showcase gallery, the selection panel will pay particular attention to sizing and the retail pricing of artworks, with the goal of selecting artists whose work is generally under the $1,000 retail price point. For more information, please read through the call on CaFe.
