In preparation of our 2025 opening, we are excited to announce our first 20 calls for West Coast artists and curators. We do open calls differently. As an idea-based art center, we are looking for bold and unconventional ideas, and celebrate mediums and genres often passed by. Renderings and budgets are valuable, but we are more interested in your ability to communicate your ideas and the quality of your vision. We want to show the works that other institutions won’t and elevate under-represented talents across the wide spectrum of creative self-expression. Be wildly creative, ideate your project clearly, show proof of your ability to execute and share with us your boldest dreams. Winners will be selected to move forward within 30 days of the posted deadline. You are invited to submit to as many open calls as you’d like. Please review the following prompts and use the form linked here to submit each individual application.

APP LINK -- https://www.noisywatersmuralfest.com/artist-requirements -- World-renowned muralists gather in Bellingham, WA for a weekend of mural painting, demos, music, parties, workshops and inspiration. In 2025, we anticipate more than 8,000 attendees to join the festival for a friendly art competition, in which muralists will have three days to paint 8’x’8’ portable walls on public display for the community to enjoy. Attendees will vote for their favorites and the top three winners will receive cash contracts to paint large murals in Bellingham. In addition, Noisy Waters hosts the Indigeversal Collective- a collaborative mural installation led and produced by First Nation Artists from across North America. Bellingham is nestled in Whatcom County. The word “Whatcom” is derived from the Lhaq'temish word Xwot'qom, which translates to “noisy water.” This festival aims to make noise in Bellingham by hosting a confluence of vibrant muralists and artists.
