PUNCH + SOIL
International Juried Exhibition
December 6-30, 2007
Deadline: October 15, 2007
PUNCH Gallery and SOIL present
an international juried exhibition taking place December 2007.
Both galleries, located in the Pioneer Square area of downtown
Seattle, provide an excellent opportunity to gain exposure within
the Northwest regional art scene.
Artists from any country may submit work in any medium. There
is no limit to the number of entries. In addition to traditional
2-D and 3-D works, artists are encouraged to submit work in
new media, video, sound, or installation. Complicated installation
procedures may require the artist to assist with installation.
Members of PUNCH and SOIL are
not eligible to enter.
The juror, Eric Fredericksen, will utilize both spaces of these
high-profile galleries to create two complementary exhibitions
which present a diverse range of media and concepts from around
the world.

Applauding individual expression, the gallery’s primary
