Artist Trust Fellowship Awards are merit-based awards of $10,000 for practicing professional artists of exceptional talent and ability residing in Washington State. These unrestricted awards are open to artists of all disciplines and are given annually to up to 8 artists in recognition of artistic excellence and dedication to their practice. The awards were first selected in 1987, making it Artist Trust's longest-running award program. Recipients have the opportunity to participate in Artist Trust's Meet the Fellows program, a storytelling initiative aimed at helping recipients share their stories, build new audiences for their work, and honor each recipient as a Fellow. All applications are reviewed by one multidisciplinary panel consisting of five artists from across the state with expertise in a range of artistic disciplines. Panelists prioritize Black and Indigenous artists, artists living in rural areas, and artists who identify as LGBTQIA+ by considering structural, institutional, and historical barriers artists face.

The Artist Support Program has been assisting artists working creatively with sound since 1994. Artists of every genre and style have been represented, including writers, choreographers, multidisciplinary artists, theatre sound designers, radio producers, film makers, visual artists, and musicians and composers of all types. Every year, up to eight artists are awarded twenty hours of studio recording and production time with a Jack Straw engineer. An additional twelve artists receive matching awards for studio time as part of our Artist Assistance Program. Artists for the Artist Support Program are selected by an interdisciplinary peer panel. The opportunity to work in a large professional recording studio with experienced sound engineers is a boon to many artists who may not otherwise be able to afford to produce work in this setting. The Artist Support Program is open to artists of all disciplines whose project proposals include sound as a major component. Projects are presented to the public at artist events at Jack Straw and other venues.

Price Sculpture Forest in Coupeville, Washington, invites sculptors to exhibit their work in a natural forest setting. The park features two themed trails: "Nature Nurtured," showcasing sculptures inspired by natural elements, and "Whimsy Way," highlighting playful and imaginative pieces. Sculptures should be durable for year-round outdoor display.

Breck Create’s Artist-in-Residence program offers artists across all disciplines the opportunity to focus on their creative process while engaging meaningfully with the local community. Residencies span 2 to 4 months, during which artists reside in a live/work studio within the Breckenridge Arts District, an intimate campus of historic structures nestled under majestic snow-capped peaks in cozy downtown Breckenridge. During the school year, artists serve as guest instructors in Summit County schools, providing support and supplemental curriculum to teachers. In the summertime, artists identify and collaborate with a community partner or organization on educational programs. Artists are expected to facilitate two weekly open studios on campus, instruct weekly lessons in schools and on campus, participate in on-campus public events, and collaborate with a community partner. Priority is given to artists with teaching experience.

Price Sculpture Forest is reaching out to sculptors who would like to publicly exhibit your outdoor work for sale or otherwise for public exhibition at this exciting and beautiful new sculpture park. For early participants, they are offering zero commission (100% to artist), marketing of your work, and no jury submission fee. They present two focus themes: Nature Nurtured (evoking natural elements, ecosystems, wildlife, or our interaction with those) and Whimsy Way (bring on the fun factor with unusual, humorous, or “cool”). Selection is based on quality of sculptures and relevance to either of the two opening themes.
