Seattle, Washington - Gallery 110 is a Pioneer Square artist collective that welcomes artists of all races, beliefs and cultures and takes pride in a 22-year history of exhibiting emerging and established artists. Gallery 110’s Emerging Artist Program, which was founded in 2018, provides King County visual artists with mentorship, subsidized member dues, and other resources to help grow their art career.

Talent is everywhere, opportunity is not. Gallery 110 offers an opportunity for emerging artists to compete for scholarship awards that support gallery membership dues. To become more inclusive and equitable as an organization, this year we are again targeting those for whom opportunities are scarcer by limiting eligibility to artists identifying as BIPOC*.

King County residents who self-identify as BIPOC, who are early-to-emerging artists, and for whom gallery membership dues are a barrier, are invited to submit applications. The scholarship awards include:

- A group exhibition at Gallery 110 (June 2024) with other finalists.

- 2-year fully paid Gallery 110 memberships for up to six (6) artists.

Gallery representation (physical and virtual)

A solo exhibition within 24-months membership period

Additional opportunities to exhibit work in the gallery

Mentorship from experienced gallery artists

Participation in gallery operations and decision-making
