The City of Burien invites artists from Washington state to apply for its 2026 Gallery Program, which aims to highlight local creativity in community spaces. Applications must be submitted by 5 p. m. on August 22, 2025, and selected artists will exhibit their work for four months at various locations, including the Burien Community Center and Maverick Apartments. Stipends range from $50 to $250, depending on the exhibit location and length.

Artists may submit either 2D or 3D works, tailored to the venue’s specifications.
