Lightcatcher Building

The Whatcom Museum presents its fourth biennial national art exhibition, opening this fall. Grace Kook-Anderson, the Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Curator of Northwest Art at the Portland Art Museum is the guest juror and will be selecting finalists from among 1,000 submitted artworks for a three-month show in Bellingham. Hundreds of visual artists from across the United States – both long-established and up & coming – are vying for a chance at the top prize: a future solo exhibit at the Whatcom Museum, to be announced on November 11. Museum visitors will also have the chance to select an artwork for a People’s Choice Award, to be announced in late February.
