diversity grant 2024

We, the member artists of Shift Gallery, recognize that art is a creative pursuit limited only by one’s imagination. We seek to attract a diverse group of artists. As a collective, we are dedicated to showcasing the art of BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) artists in the Seattle area. To that end, we offer this Grant to a promising BIPOC artist who will have the opportunity to exhibit their artwork in the Shift Window Gallery for the month of October 2024.

The grant is for $500 and is to be used by the artist, for advancing their art practice through the window display. The artist may either create a new project, advance an existing project, or feature a recently completed project.

The grantee must be available to exhibit their work in the month of October 2024. In addition, the artist may opt to host an artist talk on the project for a Saturday (or another time coordinated with Shift in advance) during October 2024.

The dimensions of the Shift Window Gallery space where you would display your artwork are approximately 85” (H) x 101” (W) x 43” (D).
