Contemporary Art Commission

The United Churches of Olympia is commissioning a work of art that demonstrates our congregation’s values as a place where Spirituality and Justice meet.  We are interested in a contemporary, 2-dimensional work reflecting that we are an inclusive spiritual community that welcomes all people.

​

We are seeking new work that is between 900 sq inches and 2,116 sq inches (no smaller than 30” by 30” and no larger than 46’’ by 46’’).  The selected work will be displayed in the entryway of the church.  Selection of the artist will be based on responses to the Proposal Application which includes the artist's qualifications.  Please read the Guidelines for specific instructions on how to apply.  

 

​​Selection Information

Evaluation: All responses received by the deadline of March 1, 2026 will be evaluated by the United Churches Artist Selection Committee.  Artists chosen by the review panel will be invited to move forward to personal review.

 

Honorarium

​The selected artist will be awarded an honorarium of $2,000.
