CALL TO ARTISTS: Set in Motion
FALL 2020 – WINTER 2021
The Henry invites artists residing in the Pacific Northwest to participate in Set in Motion, a public art exhibition featured on King County Metro buses from December 2020 through February 2021.
The title, Set in Motion, while in part referring literally to the mobile and transitory aspect of the exhibition format, also provides a loose thematic framework for artists to consider. To set in motion, by synonym: to activate, to initiate, to get underway, to instate, to usher in, to open—there are myriad ways to interpret the phrase, and how movement might be considered in this moment.
The work of ten artists will be presented as part of Set in Motion; they will be selected both through this open call and by curatorial invitation. The Henry’s website will host the exhibition information including artwork description and artist bios.
