RTC - Culinaire Room
Artist Application
Thank you for your interest in exhibiting your work at Renton Technical College. We are excited to offer an ongoing rotating art display that will showcase local artists and bring fresh, engaging artwork to the campus community each month.
Each monthly rotation can accommodate approximately 16 to 18 artists, allowing us to highlight a diverse range of styles, mediums, and creative voices. To keep the process simple and accessible, you only need to complete this application once. Approved artists will be scheduled into upcoming rotations as space becomes available.
We will rotate artists each month to ensure we can provide opportunities to as many members of our creative community as possible. Once the college confirms drop off dates and times for each rotation, we will notify participating artists with those details.
We look forward to learning more about your work and sharing it with the Renton Technical College community.
