2025 Main Gallery Shows

Open Call Exhibits

Important Update!!!

We have changed how we do artist calls. We are now announcing calls earlier and keeping them open later. We are asking for submissions of completed work.

This new system is a simple one step application process that will streamline artist-gallery communications. If you need assistance, please contact the gallery at info@confluencegallery.org or at 509-997-2787 and we will set up an appointment to help you with your submission. We are also happy to help over the phone or email.

Backyard Wilderness:
*A Coyote in the Parking Lot*

We invite you to contribute to our exhibit “Backyard Wilderness: A Coyote in the Parking Lot” at The Confluence. The show will run November 18 - January 10, 2026. The Call is open August 7 - September 18.
A coyote in the parking lot, a mouse in the house, a hummingbird at the feeder, a bear on the trail. The title of this exhibit comes from experiences we all have had encountering wild animals in places commonly used by humans.
When we overlap so closely with our wild neighbors what is the outcome? Whose land is this really? How can art give us new ideas and ways of seeing those connections? Jennifer Molesworth and Janet Fagan are teaming up to curate an exhibit that we hope will shine a light on how we can all share the land, sky and water in ways that benefit all.
Artists often lead the way for new ways of understanding, seeing and being. How can your art tell the story of what our wild brothers and sisters experience? How does this lead us to where we can co-exist harmoniously with each other? Curators Janet Fagan and Jennifer Molesworth invite you to explore your connection to your wild neighbors. Who do you share the land, water and sky with? Whether in your back yard or deep in the wild, who do you see and how can your art tell the story of what you have experienced or would like to experience?
You are invited to create up to 4 pieces of work in any medium, 2 D or 3 D. This is a holiday show and work will be sold off the wall in time for seasonal gift giving. Some work will be reserved in the back to replace work that sells.
Ahoooooowl - Whoo Whoo - ribbit ribbit - eek!
Curated by: Jennifer Molesworth and Janet Fagan
