Poster Design for 2026 Northwest Glass Quest

The Camano Island Chamber of Commerce organizes the very popular Northwest Glass Quest event every February. This 10 day event draws visitors from far and wide to search for “clueballs” (3 inch plastic balls) in participating businesses and our local parks – those who are lucky enough to find a clueball are given a beautiful hand blown glass ball created by local artists. The event has grown in popularity every year and in 2025 we had over 400 glass balls to award to lucky “questers”. The 2026 event will be held from February 13th-22nd however due to the large scale and scope of the event we begin our marketing and registration in September.

The event highlights the local artists who create the beautiful glass balls and we would like to expand our promotion of local art by having the annual poster designed by a local artist. Art submissions for consideration can be in draft/outline form. If chosen, final art will be due in September. There is a $500 stipend for the artwork chosen by the panel for the 2026 poster.

The Camano Island Chamber has partnered with the Stanwood Camano Arts Advocacy Commission to implement this Call for Art.

Call for Art | Seeing Our Planet

The Gallery at Graphite Arts Center (Edmonds, WA) is seeking artwork for the upcoming exhibition ‘Seeing Our Planet’

About the exhibit

With the capacity to spark wonder, shock, question and inspire action, the visual arts can be a powerful force for bringing attention to our lived experience. Graphite Arts Center seeks artwork for the Seeing Our Planet exhibit which are direct, creative responses to the current state of our great and precious planet in this time of changing climate conditions. Whether a reaction, or an interpretation, Seeing Our Planet is a showcase of artwork interpreting our planet through the lens of climate change, crisis and sustainability.

As part of the Seeing our Planet exhibit, Graphite will be featuring the photo series Portraits of a Planet in Crisis by invited, emerging artist, Amelia Digiano. Digiano’s works “explore the dichotomy of eco-anxiety and environmental complacency through human stories that transpire within stories of environmental degradation.”
