The mission of METHOD is to foster and exhibit sculpture and installation that regards process, material, and concept, while engaging the gallery space.
We endeavor to:
We endeavor to:
- Promote a changing program of visually stimulating, well-researched, and thoughtful exhibitions.
- Provide a venue for interdisciplinary thinking that supports exploration and creative problem solving.
- Provide a contemporary exhibition space for artists who are working outside the traditional commercial standard
- Offer a platform for discussion on aesthetics, technical considerations, experimentation, and the creative process that are supported by artists’ talks.
- Present exhibitions that question, inform, and inspire through engagement with the Pioneer Square community.
Founded in 2013, METHOD is a non-profit, volunteer artist-run exhibition space that exhibits art that is experimental, forward-thinking, unconventional, and predominantly based in sculpture, installation, new media, and/or performance. METHOD is not a commercial gallery, nor an on-site studio space and it is not a cooperative gallery.
METHOD enlivens the Northwest shoulder of the Tashiro Kaplan All-Arts Building, a hub of cultural activity on the edge of Seattle’s Pioneer Square. METHOD focuses on artistic processes and is a mode for gathering diverse artists together and offering them a means to exhibit their work to the public in a professional gallery setting. METHOD is a conduit for reciprocity and exchange, for developing relationships with other artists and organizations, locally, nationally, and internationally. Exhibiting artists are NEVER charged exhibition or operational fees and are provided the space free of charge.
METHOD is proudly 100% volunteer run! (even the founders are volunteers and receive no monetary funds)
