ACES at Magnuson Park Gallery features a curated selection of works from the 2025 ACES Gallery. ACES // Artists of Color Expo & Symposium is a BIPOC-led program produced by Shunpike that creates space for artists to be bold and create through experimentation and community intention. This encore exhibition presents artists with an additional opportunity to present their artwork and continue the conversations, connections, and creative exploration sparked during the main ACES event.

Magnuson Park Gallery is a program of Sand Point Arts and Cultural Exchange (SPACE). SPACE’s mission is to connect and enrich our community through art, music, and culture. Learn more at magnusonparkgallery.org.

Applications for the 2025 Collective Power Fund are now open until November 16th! I won this grant several years ago so reach out to me if you'd like to chat with me about it. I encourage all of you to apply. This was the very first one I applied to so don't let lack of experience hinder you.

Collective Power Fund focuses primarily on supporting work that incites public dialogue, pushes boundaries, explores genre fluidity, speaks its truth through an authentic perspective, and is often non-traditional, anti-institutional, socially responsible, or disruptive of existing structures and conventions. It encourages a community-forward environment of resource-sharing, mutual support, and fellowship in the Pacific Northwest arts ecosystem.

The 2025 grant will distribute $60,000 in increments of $2,000 – $5,000 – $10,000. Individual artists, who live in unincorporated or incorporated King County, will be eligible to self-select for the $2,000 or $5,000 tiers and the $10,000 tier will be exclusive to artist teams or artist-run collectives within the county.
