Lynnwood Convention Center

Call for Artists

The Lynnwood Convention Center invites visual artists in Washington to exhibit in our beautiful, modern, facility. A special six-month exhibition with the theme of “Attraction” will be held from January to July 2015.

As part of the Lynnwood Convention Center Public Art Program, you will be a “featured artist” at the Center’s Artist Reception scheduled around the Valentine’s Day holiday. The Artist Reception features an opportunity to talk about your art while enjoying culinary delights designed by our Executive Chef Michael Felsenstein.
