NEW - How to Improve Your Jury Photos, Part 2 - now on our YouTube Channel

As an artist, how can you increase your chances of getting into juried art shows? How can you curate the best set of photos to impress the jury? Jody McCrain continues her series on jury photos with more tips and suggestions to assist artists during the application process. She offers a wealth of information based on decades as a juror for Seattle's top art shows and festivals. See examples of what to do, and hear tips on what not to do, to improve your chances of getting accepted into fine art shows.

Outside the Lines is presented by the NWAA Board of Directors, providing a focused perspective on the organization. We look forward to the wonderful Fall Best of the Northwest Show in November! As an “active board”, all Board of Director members have been involved in the planning and implementation of the event. With a shared vision, this team values the importance of art in the community, and we take actions to support artists.

Our Strategic Plan helps as a roadmap on the journey. One of the actions is to have an NWAA event every season, so we are adding a new winter event featuring WEARABLE ART confirmed for February of 2027 at the National Nordic Museum in Seattle! Yes, it is more than a year ahead, but that gives us time to make it a super event! We need your involvement:

  1. Help us select a name for the new event.

  2. Join us as we build a broad volunteer team to develop a plan for the event.

  3. Bring your creativity to the mix.

The New Years Resolution for the NWAA Board of Directors for 2025 was to tackle new projects, connect with new artists and seek to develop new ideas. We are making great progress, and we invite you to join us on this journey. Just like missing pieces of a puzzle, we are looking for one or two new members for the Board of Directors. We would welcome the opportunity to talk with you at the show! We will be wearing new “Volunteer” aprons at the event and have our name tags on display. Come say hello!

Northwest Art Alliance's mission and goals include expanding general and targeted outreach to all communities and artists to better serve artists' needs and help sustain support for their vocation. NWAA connects artists to the broader community through it's shows. Artists would not have this critical exposure without this connection. 

Northwest Art Alliance produces three or more in-person shows each year with 1000+ artists represented during the last three years (unduplicated count). NWAA needs community support and donations to continue its mission. Please consider a tax-deductible donation to our non-profit organization and click here. Thank you for continued support of the Best of the Northwest shows!
