VALA Eastside of Redmond invites artists to submit new works for their Springtime Juried Art Show. Approximately 30 2D and 3D visual artworks will be chosen to be part of the show at the VALA Art Center & Studios (16409 N.E. 74th St., Redmond Town Center) from March 4-April 12.

Special considerations will be given to artists who have never exhibited works with VALA or artists applying with new works that have not been shown in public yet. The deadline to apply for the show is at 5 p.m. Feb. 5.

VALA Eastside is also seeking visual artists to serve as “artist in residence” at the VALA Art Center & Studios for a two-month period in 2015. The program gives local artists the opportunity and studio space to develop an art project of their choosing then implement it in a way that creates a strong connection to the local community.

“The Artist in Residence program is critical to VALA’s mission and helps empower artists by giving them the freedom and resources to develop their own program,” says Marianne Johnson, art programs director at VALA.

Artists will be selected through a multi-part application process that will consist of a submission of application materials and, if selected, an interview and formal presentation of the artist’s proposed project. Interviews will be conducted in early March and project proposals from final candidates will take place in late March 2015.  The deadline to apply is at 5 p.m. February 12.
