OTA looking for local artists
Olympic Theatre Arts is seeking community artists to create images for each of the nonprofit theatre’s upcoming plays in the 2019-2020 season. Each artist selected will have the opportunity to create a work of art which will be the centerpiece of the production’s visual campaign.
OTA will need a sample of the artist’s body of work for review. Options include a portfolio, website address or Facebook page. OTA will then pair each selected artist with a play which suits the artist’s style.
Artwork created by the selected artists will be raffled during the run of the show, with the proceeds going to the artist. An advance of $100 is paid against raffle proceeds when the work is delivered. Artists will also be recognized for their work within theatre publications and during the run of the show itself.
Apply on or before March 25. Call 360-683-7326 or email to marketing@olympictheatrearts.org for more information.
